INTRODUCTION 

This  book  is  puLHshed  for  the  puruose  or  giving 
instructions  and  advice  for  the  training  of  individuals 
who  are  desirous  of  getting  first-hand  knowledge  of 
life,  both  on  the  seen  and  the  unseen  sides,  whereby 
each  one  may  know  for  himself;  and,  knowing,  be 
the  better  prepared  to  travel  the  path  of  evolution 
to  his  exalted  state  of  being,  GOD. 

Every  individual  is  a  part  of  the  whole — GOD — 
and  may  be  termed  a  Psychological  UniC  This  Unit, 
however,  is  not  the  earthy  body,  which  is  a  mere 
vehicle  for  manifestation  on  the  material  plane,  but 
it  is  the  spiritual  part,  the  EGO,  limited  by  the 
physical,  body  at  this  time,  in  order  to  gather  experi- 
ence and  wisdom  for  use  in  its  future  state  of  being. 

The  Clairvoyant  Vision,  which  means  clear  vision, 
is  the  ability  to  see,  or  to  sense,  what  is  taking  place 
on  those  planes  above  the  physical  in  the  land  of 
causes,  and  thereby  form  the  perfect  link  between 
Cause  and  Effect;  enabling  the  possessor  of  this 
faculty  to  be  of  much  better  service  to  self  and 
others,  than  would  be  possible  when  depending  solely 
upon  material  manifestations,  or  by  acting  from  im- 
pulses. 

The  lessons  are  explanatory  as  well  as  instructive, 
and  if  followed  to  completion,  or  to  the  acquirement 
of  the  clairvoyant  faculty,  they  will  enable  the  pos- 
sessor to  judge  correctly  of  all  affairs  coming  to  his 
attention  with  wonderful  certainty,  thereby  tending 
to  eliminate  the  errors  of  life. 

It  is  not  generally  known  that  the  real  purpose  of 
life  is  to  develop  the  powers  latent  within,  thereby 
enabling  the  Psychological  Unit  to  better  control  its 
vehicle  of  manifestation,  and  thus  to  advance  more 
rapidly  than  can  those  individuals,  who  are  merely 


those  individua 

33L&48 


drifting  with  the  tide  of  humanity.  Some  there  may 
be  who  have  fear  thoughts,  and  dare  not  break  away 
from  the  old  and  conventional  lines,  being  content 
to  come  and  go  with  the  tides;  but  there  are  others, 
and  they  are  fast  becoming  a  mighty  host,  who  are 
not  satisfied  with  platitudes  or  ideas  promulgated 
ages  ago;  they  will  find  these  lessons  of  great 
benefit. 

The  Clairvoyance  herein  outlined  must  not  be  con- 
fused with  the  negative  kind,  that  prostitutes  the 
science  for  monetary  gain;  neither  is  it  spiritualism, 
which  is  but  a  negative  condition,  permitting  of  spirit 
control,    sometimes    a    very    undesirable    condition. 

All  persons  who  may  be  naturally  sensitive,  and 
feel  more  or  less  these  spiritual  influences  by  reason 
of  their  super-sensitiveness,  owe  it  to  themselves  to 
take  up  this  study  in  a  scientific  manner,  thereby 
becoming  ''positive"  clairvoyants  and  lords  of  their 
castles,  prohibiting  obsession,  and  gaining  the  power 
to  close  out  at  will  all  unwelcome  sights  and  sounds. 

Neither  is  it  allied  to  hypnotism,  which  is  the  power 
of  subjugating  one's  will  to  that  of  another,  thereby 
surrendering  the  reins  of  self  government  into  the 
hands  of  an  usurper. 

From  Clairvoyance  comes,  as  a  natural  conse- 
quence, the  abilrty'to  leave  one's  body  consciously 
during  sleep,  or  at  other  times  when  desired.  If  this 
statement  seems  irrational,  then  it  is  only  because 
the  subject  has  not  been  given  thorough  investiga- 
tion. By  the  use  of  certain  exercises,  this  conscious 
separation  of  soul  and  body  can  be  brought  about 
with  perfect  safety,  thus  permitting  one  to  travel 
immense  distances,  and  to  investigate  whatever  may 
be  desired. 

In  fact  the  possibilities  of  the  clairvoyant  are  won- 


derful  to  contemplate  and  the  study  harmless,  if  the 
ordinary  precautions  are  taken  as  outlined  in  the 
lessons. 

For  an  all  round  education  on  the  "Mysteries  of 
Existence"  one  should  study  the  completed  work, 
"THE  FIFTH  FORCE."  A  brief  summary  of  its  con- 
tents will  be  found  elsewhere  in  this  book.  It  is  the 
result  of  a  lifetime  of  research  of  a  scientist,  medical 
practioner,  clairvoyant  and  humanitarian,  who  is  giv- 
ing to  the  world  of  his  wealth  of  knowledge.  Those 
students  who  have  been  favored  with  a  reading  of 
the  manuscript  are  all  deeply  impressed  with  the 
truths  contained  therein,  and  do  not  hesitate  to 
recommend  it  to  all  enquiring  minds  as  the  most 
scientific,  simple,  and  truthful  representation  of  the 
whole  of  manifestation,  from  the  beginning  of  crea- 
tion down  to  the  present  day,  with  scientific  and 
simple  outlines  of  a  government  of  the  people,  "by 
the  people  and  for  the  people." 

This  New  Philosophy,  "THE  FIFTH  FORCE."  from 
which  the  parts  pertaining  to  Clairvoyance  and  Psy- 
chometry  are  now  published  ahead  of  their  proper 
places  in  the  ocmpleted  scheme,  deals  with  exist- 
ence in  a  manner  never  before  given,  at  least  not  in 
modern  times,  nor  in  any  literature  now  available,  so 
far  as  the  writer  is  aware  of.  This  work  is  now  in 
process  of  publication,  as  fast  as  the  limited  means 
will  permit.  If  you  are  interested,  send  fifty  cents 
for  a  copy  of  part  one,  which  is  now  ready. 

With  these  brief  remarks  the  book  is  recommended 
to  your  careful  persual;  the  exercises  to  your  pains- 
taking, persistent  practice;  and  the  precepts  to  your 
study  and  understanding.

PREFACE 

This  work  has  been  expressly  written  for  the  use 
of  those  persons  so  numerous  at  the  present  age  of 
psychic  investigation,  who  are  desirous  of  developing 
their  latent  occult  faculties  to  such  a  degree  that 
they  will  be  of  practical  value  in  the  useful  arts  and 
sciences,  as  well  as  in  the  everyday  walks  of  life. 

All  matters  more  curious  than  useful  have  been 
purposely  omitted.  The  chief  aim  has  been  to  give  a 
logical  explanation  of  the  facts  with  simple  exer- 
cises for  devolping  the  powers.  Most  of  the  ma- 
terials are  here  presented  to  the  public  for  the  first 
time,  and  these  in  particular  have  been  compiled 
from  as  yet  unpublished  manuscripts  of  the  author. 

The  successful  employment  of  occult  operations 
in  everyday  life,  as  well  as  in  the  useful  arts  and 
sciences,  depends  almost  exclusively  on  the  tempo- 
rary predominance  of  the  clairvoyance  or  intuitive 
faculties  of  the  seer;  and  the  errors  and  uncertainties 
which  commonly  are  the  result  of  the  exercise  of 
these  faculties,  are  directly  due  to  the  disability, 
limitations,  and  untrained  conditions  of  these  facul- 
ties in  the  great  majority  of  mankind. 

The  student  should  not,  therefore,  be  discouraged 
by  several  initial  failures.  Intuitive  and  clairvoyant 
perception  exists  latently  in  all  minds,  and  can  be 
aroused  to  some  degree  at  least  in  every  one. 

The  practice  of  the  exercises  given  in  this  little 
work,  if  not  ultimately,  will  to  some  degree  develop 
these  powers  in  most  of  mankind,  and  in  those  who 
have  the  faculty  exaggerated  will  develop  them  to 
the  fullest;  and  as  it  is  a  natural  faculty  when  once 
unfolded,  and  has  free  play,  it  will  perform  its  opera- 
tions with  as  much  or  more  accuracy  than  any  other 
faculty  within  the  range  of  the  intellectual  powers.

CLAIRVOYANCE 

CHAPTER  I 

PREFATORY  DISCOURSE 

Clairvoyance  is  the  power  to  discern  objects  not 
within  the.  ordinary  perception  of  the  five  senses,  and 
is  both  natural  and  acquired.  This  power  of  discern- 
ment comes  from  the  action  of  the  superphysical 
senses,  and  it  is  devoleped  by  bringing  the  intellect 
or  reasoning  soul  (second  principle)  under  control  of 
the  Will  to  such  a  degree  that  the  intellectual  ac- 
tivity can  be  completely  suspended. 

When  the  mind  is  stilled,  and  the  superphysical 
senses  are  free,  the  operator  is  put  in  connection 
with  things  on  the  invisible  planes.  He  can  then  per- 
ceive actions  taking  place  in  the  cosmic  rings,  and  in 
the  auras  of  persons  and  things  near  by,  or  far  from 
him. 

The  auras  of  persons  and  things  are  the  spiritual 
emanations  extending  in  human  beings  some  eight 
.feet  from  the  body,  and  the  cosmic  rings  may  be 
likened  to  the  auras  of  the  earth.  The  book,  "The 
Fifth  Force,"  gives  full  description  of  these,  to 
which  the  reader  is  referred  for  a  more  complete  un- 
derstanding regarding  the  natures  of  the  auras  and 
of  the  cosmic  rings. 

Man  is  a  Psychological  Unit  manifesting  in  a  physi- 
cal form,  the  body  being  a  necessity  in  the  involu- 
tion and  evolution  of  the  Unit  in  its  journey  from 
the  Motherhood  of  God  to  its  return  to  the  Father- 
hood of  God. 

All  manifestation  is  the  result  of  vibration,  and 
there  are  seven  distinct  or  clearly  defined  rates,* 
which  are  as  follows: 

1.  The  physical  body,  or  Carnal  Soul. 

2.  The  Reasoning  Soul. 

3.  The  Astral  Body,  or  Astral  Soul. 

4.  The  Animal  Soul. 

5.  The  Human  Soul. 

6.  The  Spiritual  Soul. 

7.  The  Divine  Spirit. 


*The  Fifth  Force. 


Now,  the  Psychological  Unit,  when  segregated  from 
the  bosom  of  the  Infinite,  began  its  existence  in  the 
highest  state  of  matter,  which  was  the  only  vehicle 
obtainable  at  that  time,  vibrating  as  number  seven, 
and  designated  as  The  Divine  Spirit.  Later  on,  when 
some  of  the  vibrations  slowed  down  to  the  rate  of 
number  six,  the  Divine  Spirit  (the  Psychological 
Unit),  took  on  another  body  appropriate  to  the  new 
order  of  vibrations,  which  body  is  termed  the  Spirit- 
ual Soul;  and  so  on  down  the  scale  of  manifestation, 
until  now  it  inhabits  a  physical  body  of  clay,  with 
six  spiritual  bodies  for  use  on  their  respective  spirit- 
ual planes. 

It  therefore  is  essential  to  understand  first,  that 
the  human  being  is  not  the  physical  body,  but  that 
it  inhabits  that  body  as  a  means  to  an  end,  to  be  laid 
down  when  worn  out  by  mistreatment  or  otherwise, 
and  a  new  body  taken  up  later  on,  and  so  on,  and  on. 
Second,  that  reincarnation  is  a  logical  conclusion; 
one  life-time  on  earth  being  insufficient  to  learn  our 
lessons,  and  bring  us  to  our  Godhood  in  a  perfected 
state. 

Now  the  Psychological  Unit  being  of  the  Infinite, 
who  can  limit  its  possibilities  within  each  of  us? 
There  can  be  no  limit  except  that  which  each  individ- 
ual wills  for  himself,  or  is  too  indifferent  to  his  possi- 
bilities. If  we  can  grasp  the  largeness  of  this  thought, 
and  set  to  work  on  this  basis,  we  can  become — at 
least  Clairvoyant. 

At  the  very  beginning  we  must  realize  that  we  are 
an  individual;  one  with  God,  it  is  true,  yet  individual- 
ized, and  we  must  to  our  own  selves  be  true,  not 
imitators  or  followers  of  others,  or  of  creed,  or  dog- 
mas. Lessons  are  very  well  in  their  places,  whatever 
may  be  the  subject;  but  after  the  lessons  are  learned, 
we  must  assert  our  individuality,  and  apply  ourselves 
to  just  what  pertains  to  us  as  Divine  Spirits,  and  not 
be  bound  by  what  others  may  say,  although  they  may 
say  or  teach  just  what  is  right  for  themselves  as  in- 
dividuals. Cautions  may  be  found  expedient  at  times, 
and  the  student  would  do  well  to  abide  by  them  until 
he  is  a  power  for  himself,  and  can  safely  feel  his  own 
way. 

Clairvoyance  is  a  God-given  faculty  and  may  not 


with  impunity  or  with  safety  be  used  for  evil  pur- 
poses. 

Only  those  who  intend  using  it  for  helpful  pur- 
poses should  undertake  the  task  of  acquiring  it.  It 
is  a  task  of  more  or  less  hardship  in  self  denial,  re* 
tirement,  and  persistent  practice.  The  musician  must 
practice  steadily;  the  athlete  must  be  persistent  in 
bis  exercises;  and,  in  fact,  all  attainments  are  the 
result  of  persistent,  careful,  training;  nothing  comes 
from  drifting,  but  driftwood. 

Clairvoyance  can  be  of  spiritual  help  to  others  in 
so  many  ways,  that  they  are  self-evident  to  those 
who  think;  it  is  scarcely  permissible  to  use  it  for 
one's  own  advantage  in  a  material  way;  but,  spirit- 
ually, all  of  the  higher  realms  become  realities  by 
its  use.  A  desideratum  of  great  value  for  all  per- 
sons spiritually  minded. 

Those  who  hope  to  succed  in  the  attainment  of 
Clairvoyance  must  believe  explicitly  that  such  a 
thing  is  possible;  must  expect  it  as  a  result  of  their 
practices;  and  must  look  for  it  and  grasp  it  when  it 
begins  to  appear.  The  health  should  be  carefully 
guarded,  but  excessive  physical  exercise  is  to  be 
avoided,  as  clairvoyance  is  more  easily  obtained  by 
those  of  weaker  bodies,  for  abnormal  strength  of 
muscle  prevents  the  superphysical  senses  from  func- 
tioning perfectly.  Self-control  must  be  attained,  at 
least  to  quite  a  degree.  The  will  should  be  cultivated 
lit  the  persistent  practice  of  the  exercises,  as  well  as 
in  the  daily  life.  Pride,  in  well  doing  only,  should 
be  the  watchword.  Friendship,  love,  benevolence, 
cheerfulness,  and  truth,  should  predominate  in  all  of 
life's  transactions.  With  these  qualifications,  one 
may  safely  start  out  with  a  firm  determination  to 
conquer  self,  and  bring  Clairvoyance  out  of  its  hid- 
ing place;  for  it  is  a  faculty  in  each  and  all  of  us. 
to  be  used  by  all  at  some  future  time,  naturally  and 
easily.  Why  not  grasp  it  now,  and  be  one  of  the 
advance  guards  of  the  new  race,  the  Sixth  Principle 
Race,  which  is  coming  into  objectivity  at  this  time. 
Besides,  and  not  the  least  of  all,  once  acquired,  it  is 
for  all  time,  and  for  all  future  incarnation  if  not. 
abused. 


Superphysical  Man.  In  treating  the  subject  of 
Clairvoyance,  we  cannot,  as  is  the  case  with  purely 
physical  phenomena,  regard  man  as  a  mere  organ- 
ized body  of  inert  matter  manifesting  intelligence 
and  motion  as  a  result  of  a  nice  arrangement  of 
atoms  and  molecules. 

Such  is  correct  from  a  purely  materialistic  point 
of  view,  especially  so  with  the  older  materialists; 
but  going  deeper  into  the  subject  of  materialism  we 
find  that  materialism  itself  would  require  something 
more  than  merely  inert  matter  to  produce  the  phe- 
nomena of  sentient  life. 

Matter  independent  of  force  could  not  and  would 
not  manifest  motion,  much  less  thought  and  feeling; 
and  if  we  have  inert  matter  as  a  body,  we  must  have 
force  to  actuate  the  body.  Inertia  implies  rest,  and 
the  inability  to  originate  or  stop  a  motion;  and,  ac- 
cordingly, matter  once  set  in  motion  would  forever 
fered  with  it;  and,  again,  matter  at  rest  would  not 
continue  in  motion  unless  some  external  thing  inter- 
originate  motion,  yet  we  see  everywhere  matter  in 
motion;  such  a  thing  as  absolute  rest  is  unknown 
anywhere  in  the  manifest  universe. 

Hence,  if  we  have  inertia  and  motion,  we  must 
have  matter  and  force;  and  as  matter  is  always  in 
motion,  that  force  must  always  be  associated  with 
it 

Pythagoras  understood  this  when  he  laid  down  the 
basic  principles  of  his  doctrine  of  transmigration 
of  souls;  to-wit:  Positive  mind  and  negative  matter. 
Mind  gives  matter  potency  and  form.  Mind  is 
eternally  progressive.  This  is  all  true  and  we  agree 
in  the  main,  but  would  substitute  the  word  force  for 
mind. 

If  then  we  have  force  and  matter  composing  the 
human  being,  we  should  consider  both  in  any  strictly 
scientific  treatment  of  man  as  an  intelligent  being. 

In  the  living  human  being  we  accordingly  find  all 
the  forces  known  to  physical  science,  and  one  with 
which  physical  science  is  not  acquainted;  namely, 
the  "Emotive  Force,"  or  "The  Fifth  Force." 

These  forces,  while  originating  within  the  physical 
body  chiefly,  do  not  confine  themselves  wholly  to  the 

—10— 


particular  space  occupied  by  the  body,  but  are  em- 
anated from  it  and  extend  to  the  surrounding  space 
in  a  manner  similar  to  that  in  which  the  heat  of  a 
stove  is  radiated  from  the  fire  within;  or  the  light 
of  a  lamp  from  the  flame.  These  radiations  consti- 
tute what  we  term  the  auras  of  radiated  energy  or 
auric  rings,  and  constitute  the  superphysical  man. 

Auric  Rings.  The  aura  will  necessarily  have  as 
many  parts  or  limitations,  counting  from  the  body 
outwards,  as  there  are  different  powers  of  radiation 
(rings)  from  the  forces  composing  the  body. 

First,  there  is  mineral  magnetism,  which  is  but 
feebly  active,  confining  its  energy-— arlmost  wholly 
within  the  body,  and  radiating  but  a  short  distance 
outside  of  it. 

The  next  is  that  of  heat,  which  is  not  only  active 
within  the  body,  but  also  surrounds  it  to  some  con- 
siderable distance. 

The  next  in  power  is  electricity,  which  manifests 
in  the  body  and  to  a  distance  beyond  the  heat  aura. 
.  The  next  in  power  and  distance  is  the  aura  of  the 
invisible  light,  which  is  active  in  the  body,  and  to  a 
great  distance  around  it.  This  we  have  named  the 
Astral  Light  aura. 

Then  there  is  the  aura  of  the  Emotive  Force  (E. 
M.  F.),  which  extends  to  the  utmost  limits  of  the 
universe. 

In  addition  to  these  we  have  the  Odic  Aura  and  the 
Perceptive  Aura,  both  coming  within  the  limits  of  the 
electric  aura.  Odile  is  formless  emotive  stuff  sus- 
ceptible to  changes  by  the  action  of  the  will  or  of 
the  imagination. 

The  Perceptive  Aura  is  the  sum  total  of  all  the 
other  auras  to  the  limit  of  the  visible  universe,  and 
is  included  within  the  boundaries  of  the  electric 
aura.  The  use  and  purpose  of  this  aura  is  to  retain 
matter  of  any  or  all  tenuations  that  may  come  with- 
in its  limit;  any  matter  of  any  tenuation  coming 
within  its  limits  is  perceived  by  the  Psychological 
Unit;  and  the  matter  arranges  itseir  in  obedience  to 
the  laws  of  polarization  and  affinity,  near  a  focus  of 
its  own  nature  and  on  its  own  plane. 

The  sizes  of  the  auras  vary  in  different  individuals, 
—11— 


so  that  no  fixed  standard  can  be  assigned  to  them; 
however,  in  most  persons,  the  auras  will  approxi- 
mate the  following: 

Aura  of  Mineral  magnetism  extends  beyond  body — 
one-sixteenth  inch. 
Heat  Aura — 9  inches. 
Electric  Aura — 6  to  10  feet. 
Light  Aura— 6  to  10  feet. 
E.  M.  F.  Aura — unlimited. 
Odic  Aura— 8  feet. 
Perceptive  Aura — 8  feet. 

The  Superphysical  Senses.  There  are  lines  of 
force  within  the  body  that  extend  beyOnd  its  surface 
into  the  auras.  Within  the  compass  of  the  visible 
form  they  ramify,  ever  increasing  and  diverging,  like 
the  branches  of  a  tree,  until  ultimately,  they  become 
one  with  each  capillary  blood  vessel  within  the 
physical  body.  From  the  capillaries  they  are  thrown 
outwards  into  the  auras  surrounding  the  body,  where 
they  act  as  feelers,  constituting  a  superphysical 
sense,  analogous,  in  a  way,  to  the  action  of  the  cones 
and  pyramids  of  the  retina  of  the  eye  with  solar 
light. 

These  feelers  receive  impulses  coming  into  the 
auras  from  the  surrounding  universe,  in  the  same 
manner  as  the  cones  and  the  pyramids  of  the  eye 
receive  the  rays  of  solar  light;  and  they  transmit 
them  inward  to  the  soul,  just  as  the  eye  transmits 
impressions  inward  from  the  sense  of  sight  to  the 
sight  centers  in  the  brain. 

The  superphysical  senses,  which  are  located  in  the 
rete-mucosum  of  the  skin,  are  all  associated  together 
by  these  lines  of  force;  which  lines  take  up  the  im- 
pressions from  the  superphysical  senses  and  pass 
them  along  the  foci,  where  they  are,  so  to  speak, 
sorted  out  and  delivered  over  other  lines  of  force, 
from  focus  to  focus,  during  the  process  of  thinking. 

These  feelers  also  act  as  routes,  or  organs  of  elimi- 
nation for  the  higher  tenuations  of  matter  from  the 
body;  and  when  the  body  is  overcharged  with  emo- 
tions or  feelings,  the  surplus  is  emitted  by  the 
feelers  and  returned  to  the  auras  over  these  lines. 

The    Mind.      Throughout    the    entire    economy    of 

—12— 


human  nature,  we  find  three  distinct  sets  of  emotions, 
passions,  and  desires,  and  we  name  them  Active, 
Passive,  and  Latent. 

The  active  sets  represent  the  manifest  mind  and 
soul  of  man;  they  are  the  ones  that  come  to  the 
surface  and  manifest  to  our  objective  consciousness; 
they  rule  and  characterize  us  in  our  daily  affairs  of 
life,  in  fact,  it  is  the  man  as  the  world  sees  him. 

The  passive  represent  those  mental  qualities  that 
lie  just  below  the  surface  of  objective  consciousness; 
they  do  not  manifest  as  ordinary  mental  qualities  of 
the  individual,  but  they  can  be  and  are  thrown  into 
activity,  manifesting  as  visible  attributes  of  mind 
upon  certain  occasions,  brought  about  by  somewhat 
stronger  stimuli  than  is  required  to  cause  a  mani- 
festation of  the  active  sets. 

It  is  these  qualities  that  are  thrown  into  activity, 
and  become  manifest  at  times  when  the  person  is 
brought  into  grave  circumstances,  or  where  great 
mental  effort  is  required  to  judge  a  circumstance  or 
direct  an  individual  action.  These  are  usually  called 
the  higher  intuitions,  by  this  we  mean  a  certain 
counsel  or  advice,  by  means  of  which  we  obtain  a 
knowledge  of  just  how  to  act  under  the  circumstance, 
coming  from  within  our  own  mental  sphere.  We 
might,  for  the  sake  of  terminology,  call  this  our 
mental  reserve,  and  compare  it  to  a  bank  account 
on  which  we  can  draw  when  our  ready  cash  is  no 
longer  sufficient  to  meet  the  demands. 

The  latent  sets  represent  those  qualities  still  more 
remote,  and  deeper  seated  than  the  passive  ones. 
They  are  not  at  all  under  control  of  the  ordinary 
mind,  and  cannot  be  summoned  under  any  circum- 
stances peculiar  to  our  everyday  life;  they  become 
active  only  under  special  circumstances,  and  even 
then  in  but  very  few  individuals,  and  they  then  rep- 
resent that  state  of  mind  most  strikingly  termed 
"Illumination."  At  such  times  the  great  mysteries 
of  creation  are  opened  to  the  inner  vision,  and  the 
panorama  of  the  creation  of  the  universe  passes  be- 
fore the  consciousness;  only  at  such  times  can  be 
realized  our  true  relation  to  that  which  we  know  ot 
as  God;  and  at  such  times  we  become  as  God,  and 
one  with  God.

CHAPTER  II 

INITIATIVE   PRACTICE 

The  only  requirement  necessary  to  become  clair- 
voyant, outside  of  its  rightful  use,  is  the  ability  to 
suspend  thought  at  will.  Many  methods  have  been 
taught  for  bringing  the  mind  under  control  of  the 
will,  all  more  or  less  successful;  but  the  method  we 
prefer  is  the  one  affording  the  most  independence  ot 
action,  and  one  of  purely  mental  effort.  The  follow- 
ing simple  exercise  will  develop  the  power  of  clair- 
voyance to  its  fullest  extent  in  any  one  having  the 
natural  gift;  if  not  naturally  gifted,  it  will  develop 
the  faculty  to  some  extent. 

Exercise  1.  The  student  should  sit  alone  in  a  quiet 
place  each  day  for  one  or  two  hours;  preferably  at 
the  same  hour,  and  in  the  same  place;  he  should 
relax  mentally  and  physically,  place  the  tips  of  the 
fingers  together,  thumb  touching  thumb,  and  strive 
to  calm  the  mind  and  suspend  thought. 

At  first  the  student  wlil  have  some  difficulty  in 
bringing  the  mind  to  rest,  and  he  may  exp3rience 
some  peculiar  feelings  or  sensations;  these  should 
not  be  checked,  but  allowed  to  come;  the  thought 
suspension,  however,  must  be  continued.  These  pe- 
culiar feelings  are  caused  by  sixth  principle  elements 
(Spiritual  Soul  elements)  flowing  into  the  body  from 
the  higher  cosmic  rings,  and  if  checked  the  develop- 
ment will  be  retarded.  When  the  body  is  filled  with 
sixth  principle  matter,  the  student  will  be  sensitized 
and  ready  for  work. 

Some  clairvoyants,  when  going  into  this  condition, 
feel  as  though  they  were  flying  or  floating  in  the  air; 
others  feel  as  though  they  were  rapidly  dropping 
down  into  darkness  or  out  into  light;  some  experi- 
ence a  tingling  sensation  in  the  extremities,  the 
limbs,  or  body;  no  two  persons  will  experience  ex- 
actly the  same  sensations. 

It  may  take  only  a  few  sittings  to  develop  this 
power,  or  it  may  take  weeks,  months,  or  years;  but 
once  the  power  is  developed,  the  student  will  be  on 
the  road  to  the  heights  of  practical  occultism.     By 

—14— 


this  power  alone  can  he  unfold  all  the  hidden  powers 
within. 

Clairvoyance,  in  its  lowest  phase,  is  used  for 
fortune  telling,  spirit  seeing,  etc.  In  its  highest  as- 
pect, it  can  be  used  as  an  aid  in  the  study  and  work- 
ings of  all  the  arts  and  sciences.  To  use  it  for  the 
higher  purposes,  the  student  must  be  trained,  and 
taught  its  uses  on  the  various  planes:  otherwise,  its 
acquisition  will  never  be  of  practical  value  to  himself, 
or  of  helpfulness  to  others. 

After  making  the  sitting  as  previously  explained, 
and  when  in  the  proper  condition,  the  student  should 
look  around  him  with  the  inner  sense  of  sight  (the 
mind's  eye),  and  he  will  eventually  see  strange  shapes 
or  forms.  At  first,  probably,  there  will  be  seen  noth- 
ing more  than  mere  flashes  of  light,  or  sparks  of  fire, 
shooting  about.  Sparks  may  drop  from  the  air  and 
appear  to  strike  the  student;  he  should  not  become 
excited,  but  keep  his  mind  calm  and  thoughts  sus- 
pended. He  may  see  fogs,  clouds,  or  vapory  sub- 
stances floating  around. 

The  next  stage  is  that  of  the  discernment  of  forms; 
shapes  of  human  beings  may  appear;  and  as  the 
powers  develop,  the  forms  will  become  more  clearly 
defined,  until  finally  the  student  will  be  able  to  com- 
municate with  them  through  his  inner  sense. 

Exercise  2.  The  student  will  make  the  usual  sit- 
ting, and  when  in  condition,  he  should  send  his 
thoughts  to  some  distant  place,  and  strive  to  see 
what  is  occurring  there;  he  should  watch  the  scene 
closely  without  letting  his  mind  become  active,  for 
if  this  occurs  the  vision  will  cease,  and  the  student 
will  come  out  of  the  condition. 

These  exercises  should  be  practiced  until  results 
are  obtained;  then  the  student  will  be  ready  to  take 
up  the  next  lesson. 

As  an  aid  to  quieting  the  mind,  to  keep  it  from 
wandering,  we  will  say  that  when  taking  the  position 
for  the  sitting,  the  body  must  be  relaxed.  Some 
teachers  insist  upon  an  erect  sitting  posture,  with. 
the  shoulders  straight,  the  head  well  balanced,  and 
the  face  looking  directly  in  front  and  on  a  level;  but 

—15— 


we  teach  that  the  body  must  be  perfectly  relaxed; 
a  partially  reclining  position  will  loosen  up  the 
muscles;  while  the  head  may  be  relaxed  at  the  neck 
by  allowing  it  to  drop  down  towards  the  chest. 

This  position  will  let  the  blood  flow  down  by  the 
law  of  gravity,  releasing  the  brain  cells  from  an 
over-supply;  the  blood  then  flows  more  freely  to  the 
lungs,  the  sixth  principle,  which  is  the  exciting 
principle  in  Clairvoyance.  A  pain  may  be  felt  at  the 
back  of  the  head  when  the  clairvoyant  faculty  is  be- 
ginning to  work;  but  this  is  a  sign  that  progress  is 
being  made,  and  should  cause  no  alarm. 

Perfect  quietness,  if  at  all  possible,  should  be 
sought.  If  not  possible,  then  do  the  best  that  can  be 
done,  making  the  concentration  so  perfect  that  all 
noises  will  be  obliterated.  This  is  possible;  but  it 
will  throw  an  additional  burden  upon  the  power  of 
will,  that  would  not  be  required  were  perfect  quiet- 
ness obtainable. 

It  is  well  to  call  attention  at  this  place  to  the 
necessity  for  the  cultivation  of  Courage.  Fear  and 
reason  acting  together  will  take  care  of  man;  but 
fear  and  imagination  will  destroy  his  peace  of  mind 
and  cause  untold  and  unnecessary  suffering.  Abso- 
lute fearlessness  is  not  a  desirable  condition  of  mind; 
but  fear  allied  to  reason  makes  for  safety;  therefore, 
reason  should  be  the  ruler. 

In  the  psychic  field,  there  are  many  things  to  cause 
fear  to  the  young  student;  there  may  be  impersonal 
forces  with  form  and  life,  and  perhaps  a  conscious- 
ness by  reason  of  their  contact  with  man.  These 
forces  are  known  as  Gnomes,  Sylphs,  Undines,  and 
Salamanders,  and  do  not  pertain  solely  to  the  realm 
of  fairy  stories,  though  they  may  be  entirely  differ- 
ent from  what  they  are  commonly  supposed  to  be; 
there  are,  too,  the  departed  beings  from  this  world, 
who  have  not  yet  taken  their  higher  degrees  and 
gone  onward  to  the  more  spiritual  spheres.  Yet, 
there  is  nothing  to  fear,  for  there  is  nothing  so  high 
or  so  powerful  as  the  Psychological  Unit  in  man, 
(the  true  man  himself),  when  it  has  awakened  his 
latent  powers  to  consciousness  and  strength. 

Perhaps  one  may  say:    "I  do  not  care  to  become 
—16— 


acquainted  with  such  things;  I  will  let  this  subject 
alone."  But,  beware,  there  is  a  time  coming  when  we 
will  all  be  thrown  head  first  (or,  perhaps,  feet  first) 
right  into  the  midst  of  them  all,  and  what  then?  Is 
it  not  better  to  learn  a  little,  or  much,  of  these  be- 
ings, inhabitants  of  God's  invisible  worlds  now?  for 
then,  when  we  come  to  go  there  permanently,  we  will 
have  known  of  these  beings,  and  be  able  to  pass  on 
and  go  about  our  new  duties  unafraid  and  therefore 
unmolested. 

Besides,  it  is  well  to  know  what  kind  of  forms  we 
ourselves  create  by  our  thoughts  and  actions.  Love 
and  hate  create  forms  of  beautiful,  or  of  horrible, 
shapes,  which  obtain  life  from  their  originators  and 
may  be  sent  forth  for  good  or  ill.  By  seeing  and 
knowing  these  elementals,  we  are  enabled  to  do  much 
good  to  suffering  humanity,  and  aid  in  the  uplift  of 
the  whole  human  race. 

Perfect  love  overcometh  fear.  Love  and  reason, 
permitting  of  cautiousness,  will  take  care  of  us,  and 
when  built  into  our  mentalities  in  correct  proportions, 
they  will  give  us  the  courage  necessary  to  do  that 
good,  which  we  may  find  to  do.  Fear,  alone,  can 
render  us  no  service  and  should  be  put  aside.  There- 
fere,  be  courageous  and  press  on  in  the  earnest  en- 
deavor to  realize  the  goal  of  Clairvoyance.

CHAPTER  III 

AURIC   COLORS 

Clairvoyant  Analysis  of  the  Auric  Rings.  Every 
thought,  emotion,  feeling,  desire,  longing,  sensation, 
and  passion,  make  an  impression  upon  the  auric  rings 
of  man,  and  these  impressions  are  made  manifest  in 
various  ways,  such  as  colors,  lines,  curves,  forms, 
etc.*  We  will,  therefore,  now  devote  some  time  to 
the  practical  study  of  these  auric  creations,  from  a 
clairvoyant  point  of  view,  and  endeavor  to  ascertain 
their  meanings.  But  it  must  be  ever  held  in  mind, 
that  these  auric  creations  are  of  the  higher  tenua- 
tions  of  matter  (spiritual  matter),  and  are  visible 
only  to  the  higher  spiritual  souls;  they  can  neither 
be  seen  by  human  eyes,  nor  felt  by  human  senses. 
There  is  no  mystery,  whatever,  about  these  things, 
and  the  foregoing  explanation,  while  very  simple,  is 
all  that  is  needed  for  the  student  to  couprehend  this 
seemingly  supernatural  condition. 

Exercise  3.  The  student  should  make  the  sitting, 
and  when  in  the  clairvoyant  condition,  let  his  mind 
■dwell  for  a  few  moments  upon  the  subject  of  auric 
rings,  at  the  same  time  search  with  the  mind's  eye, 
in  the  space  surrounding  the  subject  he  is  analyzing, 
for  the  background  of  the  aura;  this  will  perhaps 
appear  as  a  vapory  substance  or  cloud  surrounding 
the   subject. 

Having  acquired  the  habit  of  seeing  the  auras  and 
their  colors,  the  student  should  look  for  them  around 
the  people  he  meets.  Having  found  the  background 
of  the  aura,  he  may  look  idly  but  steadily  into  it,  to 
discover  any  color  or  thing  that  may  appear  therein. 

The  meaning  of  these  colors  will  be  found  in  the 
table  of  colors  that  follows: 

TABLE  OF  AURIC  COLORS 

Black.  Thick,  muddy  black  clouds  in  the  auric 
rings  indicate  malice  and  hatred.  During  a  fit  of 
anger,  thought  forms  of  hatred  may  be  seen  floating 
in  the  background  of  the  aura  like  coils  of  heavy 
vapor.  Black  auras  indicate  that  at  some  time  in 
the  life  of  the  subject,  he  has  undergone  some  terrible 
emotional  depression,  amounting  almost  to  insanity. 

*The  Fifth  force. 

—18— 


Red.  Deep  red  flashes  on  a  dark  background  indi- 
cate anger;  if  tinged  with  brown,  selfishness  is  indi- 
cated as  working  with  the  anger;  flashes  of  brilliant 
scarlet  indicate  noble  indignation;  while  lurid  blood- 
red  shows  sensuality. 

Brown.  Dull  brownish-red  shows  avarice,  and 
usually  arranges  itself  in  parallel  lines  across  the 
background;  dull  hard,  brownish-gray  shows  selfish- 
ness; greenish-brown  with  deep  red  or  scarlet  flashes, 
shows  jealousy;  heavy  lead-gray,  which  color  usually 
arranges  itself  in  parallel  lines  against  the  back- 
ground, shows  deep  emotional  depression;  a  most 
hideous  and  frightful  hue  of  livid  gray  shows  fear. 

Crimson.  Crimson  indicates  love  for  the  opposite 
sex,  the  color  varying  with  the  nature  of  the  love. 
Dull  heavy  and  deeply  tinged  with  brown  shows 
selfish  love,  or  a  desire  to  receive  love  from  another, 
having  but  little  love  to  give  in  return.  A  beautiful 
rose-colored  crimson  indicates  unselfish  love  for  an- 
other, a  desire  to  give  rather  than  to  receive  love, 
and  self  sacrifice  for  the  one  loved.  Rose-colored 
crimson,  brilliant  and  tinged  with  lilac,  shows  the 
more  spiritual  love  for  all  humanity. 

Orange.  Orange  shows  domestic  and  social  affec- 
tion, pride  and  ambition,  but  sometimes  indicates  ir- 
ritability. 

Yellow.  Yellow  shows  human  intelligence;  the 
deeper  and  duller  shades  show  that  the  intellect  is 
acting  with  the  animal  faculties,  or  the  third 
principle,  and  indicates  selfish  reasoning.  Brilliant 
golden  yellow,  or  a  clear  and  luminous  lemon,  or  a 
primrose  yellow,  indicates  that  the  reasoning  is  di- 
rected to  the  higher  and  unselfish  objects. 

Green.  Green  is  very  deceptive  and  requires  some 
skill  to  interpret  it;  it  is  the  color  of  the  sixth 
principle,  and  its  nature  varies  so  much  that  it  is 
read  with  difficulty.  Most  of  the  green  tints  indicate 
at  first  evil  and  deceitfulness;  but  eventually  turning 
to  good  and  sympathetic  tendencies. 

Gray  green,  or  slimy  green,  shows  deceit  and  cun- 
ning; but  as  the  mind  advances  this  hue  passes  into 
an  emerald  green,  which  means  versatility,  ingenuity, 

—19— 


and  quickness  of  action;  and  no  longer  implies  any 
evil  intent  in  connection  with  these  qualities.  It  in- 
dicates ability  to  be  all  things  to  all  men,  not  for 
power  or  for  trickery,  or  to  mislead,  but  in  order  to 
please,  or  to  obtain  praise  and  favor;  and  later  on,  as 
the  higher  intelligence  developes,  for  the  purpose  of 
helping  and  strengthening  others.  Eventually  it  be- 
comes a  pale  luminous  blue-green,  which  shows  some 
of  the  grandest  qualities  of  human  nature,  and  the 
deepest  sympathies  and  compassion. 

A  bright  apple-green  indicates  vitality,  or  the  wiry 
constitution.  In  this  color  is  portrayed  the  develop- 
ment of  the  human  race.  At  first  the  higher  spirit- 
ual soul  (sixth  principle)  is  at  work  with  the  primi- 
tive races,  in  which  condition  green  appears  as  evil; 
but  the  apparent  evil  is  a  saviour,  ever  leading  man 
onward  and  upward  to  higher  and  higher  goals  of 
ambition,  until  at  last  the  sixth  principle  race  comes 
to  earth,  which  is  the  race  corresponding  to  this 
color.  Red  is  the  reverse  of  green,  and  is  its  an- 
tithesis; at  first  appearing  as  good,  but  eventually 
leading  the  race  into  evil  and  destruction.  Red  rep- 
resents animal  love;  green,  spiritual  love. 

Blue.  Clear  dark  blue  shows  religious  feeling,  but 
this  varies  according  to  the  types  of  the  feeling  in 
its  purity  or  bigotry,  its  selfishness  or  nobility.  Blue 
is  liable  to  be  tainted  with  any  of  the  foregoing 
colors,  so  that  we  may  find  any  shade  from  indigo  to 
a  deep  rich  violet,  or  their  intermediates,  as  a  muddy- 
green  blue  which  shows  the  religious  level  of  the 
African  fetish  worshipper.  The  colors  of  fear,  love, 
or  deceit,  may  be  mixed  with  the  color  of  religion. 
Light  blue,  such  as  ultramarine  or  cobalt,  shows  de- 
votion to  a  noble  cause  or  high  spiritual  ideals.  Light 
blue,  gradually  rising  to  a  luminous  lilac,  indicates 
the  higher  spirituality  of  the  second  principle,  and  is 
usually  accompanied:  by  sparkling  golden  stars  upon 
the  background  of  the  auric  rings,  when  it  indicates 
lofty  spiritual  aspirations  and  high,  noble  ideals. 

Note.  The  general  brilliancy  of  the  background 
and  its  definiteness,  or  indefiniteness  of  outline,  and 
the  relative  brightness  of  the  different  tints  and 
colors,  should  all  be  taken  into  consideration  in  the 
analysis  of  the  auric  rings. 

—20— 


The  development  of  the  psychic  powers  are  shown 
by '  colors  beyond  the  visible  spectrum,  which,  per- 
haps, give  the  aura  a  colorless  expression,  and  may 
strike  the  clairvoyant  as  a  sense  of  nothingness. 
Colors  below  the  red  end  of  the  spectrum,  indicate 
wickedness,  evil,  and  selfishness;  they  strike  the 
clairvoyant  as  darkness,  coldness,  dampness,  etc. 

The  following,  seen  in  the  auras,  indicate  the  gen- 
eral condition  of  the  souls: 

Light   indicates Illumination 

White    Good 

Darkness    Receptivity 

Shadow    Passiveness 

Black   Evil

CHAPTER  IV 

THOUGHT   FORMS 

''The  Will  is  a  way  a  person  has  of  being  and  do- 
ing, by  which  itself  and  the  body  in  which  it  dwells 
are  directed.  The  Will  is  The  Soul  Itself  Exercising 
Self-direction.  The  Will  may  be  regarded  as  both 
dynamic  and  static.  It  may  be  regarded  as  an  energy, 
and,  according  to  its  degree  as  such,  is  it  weak,  or 
fairly  developed,  or  very  great." — Haddock. 

The  development  of  the  Will  should  be  directed  by 
adherence  to  wise  and  intelligent  conduct.  The  Psy- 
chological Unit  has  freedom  of  will,  and  must  decide 
for  itself  how,  and  for  what  purpose  this  power  shall 
be  used.  Therefore,  the  student  must  ever  bear  in 
mind  that  a  strong  will  is  master  of  the  body,  of  the 
mind's  several  faculties,  and  of  the  moral  self. 

The  power  of  Will  or  of  Concentration,  may  be 
made  stronger  by  exercises,  and  a  few  suggestions 
will  be  made  here  for  those  students  who  may  have 
trouble  in  quieting  the  mind  as  a  necessary  adjunct 
in  the  sittings. 

Attention.  At  all  times  when  awake,  instead  of 
going  listlessly  about,  pay  attention  to  what  is  seen; 
get  a  right  impression  of  all  things.  These  impres- 
sions are  stored  up  in  the  auras,  therefore,  it  is  of 
the  utmost  importance  that  things  be  rightly  seen. 
Also,  that  all  sounds  be  correctly  heard  and  stored 
away.  The  ether  in  the  air  makes  photographs  of 
all  these  things  within  us,  and  if  we  see  and  hear 
things  awry,  there  must  be  an  adjustment,  which 
will  take  up  time  in  our  sleeping  hours  that  might 
better  be   spent  in  rest.     Remember,   ATTENTION. 

Procure  some  marbles  of  different  colors,  say  six 
red,  six  yellow,  six  blue,  and  six  white.  Throw  a 
handful  on  the  table;  glance  at  them,  then  cover 
them  up  or  turn  away  and  count  them  mentally  from 
memory.  This  will  improve  the  memory  and  the 
perception. 

Look  steadily  at  a  small  spot  on  the  wall  some 
eight  feet  distant  while  counting  fifty,  keeping  the 
mind  wholly  on  the  thought  of  a  quiet  mind.  Repeat, 
keeping  the  eye  fully  alive,  but  not  strained. 

—22— 


When  first  making  such  sittings,  listen  and  count 
how  many  different  sounds  you  hear,  then  shut  them 
out  one  by  one  and  bring  the  attention  to  perfect 
stillness.  Eliminate  all  movements  of  hands,  fingers, 
feet,  eyes  and  lips. 

Use  the  will  and  drive  every  thought  and  fancy 
out  of  the  mind;  hold  the  mind  blank  as  long  as 
possible.  Repeat  often  during  the  day,  while  un- 
occupied with  labor,  say  while  walking  or  while  rid 
ing  in  a  street  car.  The  Will  must  be  taught  to  be 
supreme.  While  sitting  quietly,  make  the  mind 
blank  and  hold  it  so  for  a  few  second,  then  think  of 
some  one  thing,  excluding  every  other  thought,  keep- 
ing the  one  thing  before  the  mind.  Repeat  daily  for 
strength. 

Practice  the  picture  consciousness.  Read  a  few 
lines  of  poetry  or  prose;  close  the  eyes  and  picture 
the  scene  in  the  mind's  eye.  Look  at  a  picture  on 
the  wall,  close  the  eyes  and  recall  the  picture  in  full 
detail. 

These  few  exercises  will  suggest  others  of  the 
student's  own  invention,  and  they  will  help  to  develop 
will  power  and  attention,  resulting  in  the  ability  to 
perfectly  still  the  mind  when  making  the  sittings  for 
clairvoyance. 

Thought  Forms.  Because  of  the  fact  that  the 
seventh  principle  (creative  energy)  is  co-existent  with 
everything  in  the  universe,  and  that  every  manifest 
thing  owes  its  existence  in  the  first  sense  to  the  ac- 
tion of  this  mode  of  energy,  which  acts  in  and 
through  the  mind  of  man,  every  faculty  of  mind  be- 
comes endowed  with  creative  force;  and  this  force 
manifests  itself  through  each  and  every  faculty  of 
mind,  and  by  reason  of  its  manifestation  the  action 
of  each  and  every  faculty  creates  forms  on  the  astral 
plane,  that  are  peculiarly  related  to  the  thoughts 
that  bring  them  into  existence.  These  creations  of 
the  mind  we  call  Thought  Forms. 

Referring  to  the  text  at  the  end  of  this  lesson,  we 
find  that  all  of  the  emotive  force  is  not  used  up  in 
psychological  processes,  and  that  some  exists  in  the 
auric  rings  as  formless  emotive  stuff,  which  repre- 
sents avaiable  material  out  of  which  thought  forms 

—23— 


are  made.  Thought  forms  may  be  permanent  or 
evanescent,  according  to  the  nature  of  the  will  and 
emotion  that  brings  them  into  existence. 

Every  faculty  of  mind  has  a  corresponding  form, 
which  it  brings  into  existence  in  the  auric  rings 
when  excited.  Complex  thoughts  are  represented  by 
complex  forms,  having  all  the  qualities  represented 
by  the  combined  emotions  back  of  the  thought.  The 
finer  and  higher  emotions  bring  into  existence  in  the 
auric  rings  forms  that  are  pleasing  and  beautiful; 
while  the  lower  emotions  and  the  animal  passions 
bring  into  existence  those  that  are  odious,  pugnacious 
and  vengeful. 

Thougff  forms  can  be  seen  by  the  trained  clairvoy- 
ant, and  the  condition  of  the  mind  and  character  can 
be  determined  by  interpreting  what  is  seen.  To  de- 
velop this  phase  of  clairvoyance,  make  the  usual 
sitting  and  search  for  the  auric  background  with  the 
mind's  eye.  Having  found  the  background,  look  for 
forms  in  it,  and  interpret  them  as  they  correspond 
to  the  faculties.  Simply  describe  what  is  seen  and 
take  it  as  a  type  of  character. 

Flowers  seen  in  the  auric  rings  indicate  delicate 
thoughts  and  feelings.  The  colors  of  the  flowers 
indicate  the  nature  of  the  thought. 

Symbols,  geometric  figures,  mechanical  objects,  in- 
dicate intellectual  thoughts  and  a  reasoning  mind. 

Birds,  forests,  rivers,  plains^  wild  flowers,  scenery, 
and  the  like,  indicate  the  higher  emotions,  as  these 
things  are  associated  mostly  with  the  sixth  principle; 
but  under  some  conditions  may  be  associated  with 
evil  thoughts,  as  some  evil  deed  may  have  been  com- 
mitted in  a  place  and  that  place  impressed  upon  the 
aura  by  the  memory  of  it;  however,  the  clairvoyant 
can  usually  discover  the  associated  evil. 

Ferocious  animals  and  venomous  reptiles,  bugs,  in- 
sects, etc.,  show  that  the  lower  animal  passions  are, 
or  have  been,  at  work;  and  all  such  things  leave  their 
creations  in  the  auric  rings. 

There  is  no  limit  to  the  objects  that  are  to  be 
seen.  Anything  that  flies  in  the  air  above  the  earth, 
or   that   swims   in    the   waters   of  the    seas,   or   that 

—24— 


creeps  or  crawls,  or  inhabits  the  surface  of  the 
earth,  may  be  seen  in  the  auric  rings  as  symbols  of 
thoughts.  In  fact,  every  form,  animal,  reptile,  or 
botanical  thing,  has  a  repeat  in  the  human  mind,  and 
under  certain  conditions  will  take  form  in  the  auric 
rings  of  the  microcosm. 

Malice  produces  forms  that  are  pugnacious,  snarl- 
ing, snapping,  frowning,  aimed  at  the  creator  there- 
of. 

Love  produces  cupid  forms.  Licentiousness  pro- 
duces forms  of  evil  proportions,  vacillating  and 
soggy  of  tissue. 

Love  of  form,  in  an  artistic  mind,  produces  beauti- 
ful nude  forms  of  modest  proportions. 

Drunkeness  produces  all  manner  of  odd  shapes. 

Deceit,  treachery,  hyprocrisy,  produce  forms  that 
are  lovely  to  behold  as  they  face  one,  but  catch  a 
view  from  the  bjack  and  they  appear  as  hollow 
shells,  festering,  rotten,  filthy  and  corrupt.  Persons 
having  these  forms  in  their  auric  rings  are  fair  to 
your  face,  but  foul  behind  your  back. 

Combativeness  takes  the  form  of  a  tiger. 

Caution  takes  the  form  of  a  spider,  or  a  sea-devil 
with  eyes  in  the  ends  of  its  tentacles.  It  can  be 
seen  to  cautiously  put  forth  these  tentacles  and  turn 
them  in  every  direction  in  a  searching  attitude,  then 
to  cautiously  draw  them  in  and  fold  itself  up,  and 
hide  from  view.  A  person  with  this  thought  form  in 
his  aura,  is  very  cautious. 

The  following  is  a  description  of  a  form  seen  in 
the  auric  rings  of  a  doctor:  It  had  the  head  of  a  frog, 
the  ears  of  a  jack  rabbit,  and  the  body  of  a  lizard. 
It  would  open  its  mouth  and  croak  like  a  frog; 
sneak  along  the  ground  with  its  lizard  body;  pick  up 
its  hugh  rabbit  ears  in  a  listening  attitude,  then 
make  great  jumps  from  place  to  place,  as  if  trying 
to  escape  from  danger.  After  a  jump  it  would  turn 
around  and  croak  in  a  tantalizing  manner. 

Upon  studying  the  character  of  that  person  the 
following  conditions  were  found:  He  was  a  well  in- 
formed practitioner,  but  without  good  moral  status. 

—25— 


He  would  do  any  vile  thing  to  get  a  dollar.  He  had 
a  mania  for  operating  upon  women  who  were  not 
in  need  of  it,  and  then  laugh  at  his  own  littleness, 
telling  how  he  had  anesthetized  her,  and  pretended 
to  perform  the  operation,  but  did  not  do  so.  He,  how- 
ever, presented  his  bill,  which  was  the  only  inspira- 
tion for  the  work. 

He  was  addicted  to  malpractice  on  females,  and 
was  cunning  enough  to  escape  justice.  His  logos 
was  a  jest,  and  when  caught  he  would  meet  it  with 
a  laugh,  and  was  generally  successful  in  getting  out 
of  the  way,  so  that  justice  could  not  overtake  him. 
When  he  got  the  best  of  an  adversary  he  would 
croak  and  laugh.  Here  we  find  all  the  elements  rep- 
resented by  the  thought  form.  He  was  successful 
in  cheating  justice,  was  holding  a  prominent  place 
in  the  Congregational  church,  and  was  a  Sunday- 
school  teacher;  but  he  could  not  prevent  his  thoughts 
from  taking  form  in  his  auric  rings,  where  the  clair- 
voyant saw  them.  This  man  was  in  principle  made 
up  of  the  elements  of  a  frog,  a  jack  rabbit,  and  a 
lizard.  His  soul  elements  were  a  cross  between  these 
three  types. 

Thought  forms  may  be  sent  to  a  distance,  either 
consciously  or  unconsciously,  by  the  one  who  creates 
them.  During  sleep  or  in  the  waking  state,  no  mat- 
ter what  the  distance  may  be,  they  can  be  seen  by 
the  clairvoyant  and  interpreted.  The  scientific  clair- 
voyant can  even  trace  them  back  to  the  party  who 
created  them. 

Dreams  are  sometimes  caused  by  the  thought  forms 
of  another  entering  the  auric  rings,  where  they  are 
seen  during  sleep.  Such  dreams  can  be  interpreted 
from  the  nature  of  the  forms;  thus,  mice  would  in- 
dicate malicious  thoughts  of  the  person  from  whom 
they  came.  We  cannot  go  into  detail  on  the  subject 
of  thought  forms,  for  such  would  fill  volumns  and 
then  not  be  exhausted.  The  clairvoyant  must  refer 
tc  his  own  knowledge  of  the  visible  world  for  most 
of  his  interpretations.

CHAPTER  V 
NATURE  SPIRITS 

Food  should  be  eaten  in  accordance  with  the  needs 
of  each  individual;  but  meat  should  be  avoided  as 
much  as  possible,  if  not  entirely  eliminated  from 
the  diet.  Uncooked  foods,  fresh  and  dried  fruits, 
nuts  and  salads,  furnish  plenty  of  material  upon 
which  to  build  for  health  and  strength.  There  are 
plenty  of  books  on  this  subject,  and  if  the  student 
is  not  familiar  with  the  matter  of  diet,  he  should 
obtain  some  reliable  book  and  study  the  question  for 
himself.  It  is  impossible  to  give  general  directions 
for  all  persons,  except  in  the  matter  of  meat.  Fish 
may  be  eaten  sparingly. 

Water,  which  is  pure,  should  be  freely  drank,  but 
not  a  large  amount  at  a  time.  The  cultivation  of 
regular  habits  is  recommended. 

Rest  is  necessary  from  the  ordinary  duties  of  life, 
but  the  clairvoyant  sittings  must  be  made  daily,  and 
at  the  same  time  each  day,  if  at  all  possible;  but  if 
not,  make  a  sitting  each  day  whenever  convenient. 
This  may  call  for  early  rising  on  Sunday  mornings, 
if  the  exercises  are  ordinarily  taken  in  the  mornings. 

By  the  power  of  Will  one  should  eliminate  all  irri- 
tation, worry,  depression,  and  all  evil  thoughts  and 
communications.  These  not  only  disturb  the  mind, 
but  poison  the  body  by  the  generation  of  acids,  bases, 
and  salts. 

Make  sure  of  plenty  of  pure  air  day  and  night. 
Sleep  with  the  head  away  from  a  draft.  Keep  the 
bedroom  clean  and  attractive.  Make  your  decora- 
tions of  a  light  green,  which  is  the  color  of  the 
sixth  principle.  A  light  green  shade  over  the  lamp 
in  the  room  where  the  sittings  are  made,  will  be  of 
benefit. 

Music  is  also  beneficial  and  should  be  listened  to 
once  or  twice  a  week  if  convenient.  A  mechanical 
music  box,  if  it  can  be  had,  is  better  than  nothing; 
but  it  is  not  nearly  so  good  as  the  regular  thing. 

It  is  also  quite  necessary  that  all  injurious  habits 
be  eliminated  for  the  bettering  of  the  health.  Al- 
ways cultivate  simple-mindedness,  asserting  for  one's 

—27— 


self  every  good  influence  against  every  evil  thing. 
Bring  the  mind  to  believe  in  health,  and  success  in 
all  undertakings.  Remember  always  to  think  and  to 
say  only  those  things  that  one  may  want  to  come 
true,  for  the  world  was  created  from  ideas  and 
thoughts,  and  the  student  can  create  his  own  world 
by  the  thoughts  he  thinks,  if  he  but  sticks  to  them 
long  enough  to  give  them  the  right  amount  of  vitality. 

Cultivate  the  habit  of  saying  little,  especially  about 
the  clairvoyant  work.  The  experiences  arising  from 
the  sittings  should  never  be  communicated  to  others 
for  many  reasons,  not  the  least  of  which  is  delay  in 
progress.  Never  say  or  think  that  no  progress  is 
made,  because  there  will  be  progress  whether  it  can 
be  seen  or  not,  as  one  may  work  for  some  time  and 
apparently  be  making  no  development,  when  all  at 
once  a  clearness  will  come,  and  then  progress  be- 
comes rapid.  A  busy  tongue  is  but  chasing  butter- 
flies. 

Make  all  of  your  reading  deliberate.  Avoid  the 
daily  papers  as  much  as  possible,  as  they  contain 
trash  that  is  harmful  to  the  soul.  Even  magazine 
literature  contains  but  chaff,  with  fanciful  and  im- 
aginary illustrations.  Bacon  once  said:  "Read  not 
to  contradict  nor  to  believe,  but  to  weigh  and  con- 
sider." Select  well-written  books  on  subjects  worth 
knowing.  Examine  the  title,  learn  who  is  the  au- 
thor, and  what  are  his  general  characteristics;  find 
out  if  he  is  recognized  as  an  authority  on  the  subject 
in  question.  Read,  and  digest  what  has  been  read; 
this  means  that  one  will  not  do  a  great  deal  of  read- 
'ing,  but  rather  will  gain  in  knowledge  that  which 
will  be  worth  retaining.  The  careless  and  hasty 
readings  of  newspapers  and  magazines  merely  wastes 
the  time  and  breeds  forgetfulness. 

Hybrid  Spirits.  A  hybrid  spirit  is  one  which  is 
brought  into  existence  by  the  associated  action  of 
the  forces  of  two  or  more  planes,  or  from  the  as- 
sociated action  of  the  forces  of  the  auras  of  two  or 
more  bdies.  They  differ  from  thought  forms,  inas- 
much as  thought  forms  are  wholly  the  product  of  the 
creative  powers  of  the  mind,  and  exist  wholly  within 
the  auric  rings  of  the  creator. 

Hybrid    spirits    are    a    production    of    the    creative 

—28— 


powers  of  the  mind,  and  the  creative  powers  of  the 
macrocosm  combined. 

We  once  listened  to  the  music  of  a  piano,  while  in 
the  clairvoyant  state,  and  saw  the  spirits  of  music 
playing  and  dancing  around  the  instrument  at  some 
distance  from  it.  They  appeared  to  grow  lively  and 
dance  around  in  a  brisk  manner  when  a  cheerful 
tune  was  played;  but  when  the  strains  became 
melancholic,  the  spirits  grew  sad  and  sedate,  appear- 
ing to  be  mourning  or  lamenting,  and  weeping;  the 
dance  ceased,  and  they  fell  to  the  floor  face  down- 
ward, only  to  be  revived  when  the  strains  of  music 
again  became  lively. 

Whatever  is  the  character  of  the  music  these 
spirits  take  that  character  upon  themselves,  and  act 
out  the  part,  just  as  actors  play  a  part  on  the  stage. 
Deep  bass,  in  a  moderately  lively  tune,  brings  forth 
onto  the  stage  characters  that  are  corpulent  and 
chunky;  they  are  jolly  and  represent  the  comedian 
or  clown.  The  tones  just  below  middle  C,  played  in 
a  sweet  or  mournful  manner,  will  bring  to  the  stage 
forms  that  are  thin,  tall,  and  sad  looking,  or  else 
angelic.  They  are  the  tragedians  and  romancers,  and 
play  the  part  of  fate  and  altruism. 

A  quick,  sudden  touch  of  the  keys  in  high  treble, 
will  insantly  cause  all  forms  present  to  disappear; 
they  appear  to  be  disrupted  by  some  terrible  power, 
and  instantly  assume  the  appearance  of  fog  or  vapor, 
which  falls  to  the  floor  and  becomes  invisible. 

These  spirits  are  produced  by  the  action  of  sound 
on  the  formless  emotive  stuff  in  the  cosmic  rings  of 
the  macrocosm,  and  the  auric  rings  of  the  microcosm 
combined. 

The  formless  emotive  stuff  in  the  cosmic  rings  is 
thrown  into  form  by  tone  combinations  of  the  instru- 
ment, and  the  forms  receive  additional  detachments 
from  every  person  hearing  the  music,  which  gives 
them  additional  life  and  substance  on  the  plane 
wherein  they  exist. 

A  thought  form  pure  and  simple  is  brought  into 
existence  by  a  voluntary  or  involuntary  act  of  the 
emotions,  longings,  passions,  and  desires  of  an  indi- 

—29— 


vidual;  whereas,  these  hybrid  spirits  cannot  come 
into  existence  by  act  of  the  microcosm  (individual) 
alone,  but  require  the  creative  powers  of  the  macro- 
cosm (universe)  as  well,  to  give  them  form  and  be- 
ing. 

A  hybrid  spirit  does  not  exist  wholly  within  the 
auric  rings  of  any  person,  and  does  not  depend 
wholly  on  any  person  or  mental  effort  for  existence. 
They  exist  in  the  cosmic  rings  of  the  macrocosm, 
and  depend  wholly  on  the  creative  powers  of  the 
macrocosm  for  existence  with  form  and  life,  and 
when  the  power  that  created  and  sustains  them,  as  in 
the  case  of  the  tone  combinations,  are  withdrawn, 
they  cease  to  exist,  and  the  emotive  stuff  out  of 
which  they  were  made  returns  again  to  the  form- 
less state. 

Hybrid  spirits  are  seen  everywhere.  Every  living- 
thing,  animal,  plant,  or  mineral,  has  creative  powers; 
and  when  acted  upon  by  the  creative  powers  of  the 
macrocosm,  they  give  birth  to  these  hybrid  spirits. 

The  waters  of  the  brook,  the  sighing  of  the  wind 
among  the  tree  tops,  beams  of  sunshine,  odors  of 
the  rose,  and  the  blush  of  a  maiden's  cheek,  all, 
everything,  everywhere,  is  surrounded  with  hybrid 
spirits;  some  are  beautiful,  others  are  terrible  to  be- 
hold, but  all  are  to  be  seen  by  clairvoyant  vision. 

Hybrid  spirits  may  assume  any  form,  from  a  mere 
vapory  cloud  or  fog  to  that  of  an  angel,  a  demon,  an 
animal,  or  a  mixed  form.  The  clairvoyant  will  see 
many  strange  things  that  natural  eyes  cannot  behold, 
and  which  the  ordinary  brain  cannot  comprehend. 
There  are  unlimited  numbers  and  kinds  of  hybrid 
spirits  that  do  not  depend  at  all  upon  the  human 
mind  for  form  or  existence;  they  are  a  product 
wholly  of  the  creative  powers,  acting  on  the  form- 
less emotive  stuff,  in  the  auras  of  animals,  plants  and 
minerals.  Such  are  the  true  spirits  of  the  brook, 
river,  forest,  plain,  mountain,  meadows,  music,  etc.

CHAPTER  VI 

THE  EYE  TEST 

This  exercise  is  of  great  value  in  learning  to 
control  the  muscles  of  the  eye,  and  its  practice 
will  eventually  bring  the  orbital  muscles  under 
control  of  the  will,  thereby  giving  •  one  the  power 
to  induce  the  required  muscle  tension  at  the  im- 
portant moment;  and  it  is  owing  to  this  muscle 
tension  that  the  eye  generates  its  own  peculiar  mode 
of  psychic  force,  which  permits  the  invisible  astral 
light  to  manifest  on  this  organ  in  such  a  way  that 
the  otherwise  invisible  objects  of  the  astral  plane 
become  visible  to  the  sense  of  sight. 

Exercise.  Center  the  gaze  at  the  corner  of  a  pic- 
ture, or  of  a  door;  strive  to  follow  the  edge  of  the 
picture  or  door  with  the  eye  to  the  next  corner.  It 
will  be  found  that  the  eye  will  not  obey  the  will,  but 
will  move  along  the  line  with  a  jerky  movement, 
which  must  be  prevented.  Bring  the  gaze  back  to 
the  starting  point,  and  strive  by  force  of  will  to  make 
the  vision  run  along  the  edge  smoothly,  without 
jerks  or  jumps.  After  a  while  it  will  be  found  that 
the  muscles  of  the  eye  will  obey  the  will,  and  the  vis- 
ion can  be  directed  as  one  chooses;  it  will  also  be 
found  that  the  muscles  will  easily  become  tensed 
when  desired;  it  is  in  this  tensed  condition  that  the 
eye  becomes  ready  for  psychic  vision. 

Center  the  gaze  on  a  spot  on  the  wall  or  on  the 
floor,  or  elsewhere,  where  the  body,  muscles,  or  eyes, 
are  not  in  a  strained  condition  to  see  it;  it  being 
required  that  the  entire  body  be  perfectly  relaxed 
during  the  exercise.  Having  assumed  the  position, 
endeavor  to  keep  the  gaze  on  the  identical  spot  (the 
smaller  the  spot  the  better),  but  no  attention  need 
be  paid  to  the  color  or  brightness  of  the  spot,  though 
it  should  not  be  one  to  excite  the  eye  or  mind  dur- 
ing the  exercise.  It  will  be  found  that  the  gaze  can- 
not long  be  held  on  the  spot;  the  vision  will  jump 
or  waver,  owing  to  a  spasmodic  or  erratic  action  of 
the  ciliary  muscles,  and  it  is  these  muscles  that  you 
must  learn  to  control.  After  a  while  this  control  will 
be  accomplished,  when  it  will  be  observed  that  the 
muscles    of    the    eye    will    become    tensed — not    con- 

—31— 


tracted — and  then  a  vibratory  sensation  in  the  eye 
will  be  experienced,  or  the  muscles  around  the  eye 
will  twitch  spasmodically;  this  should  cause  no  fear 
as  it  is  the  muscles  orbicularis  palpebrarum  becom- 
ing psychic. 

Practice  the  foregoing  exercises  until  perfect  con- 
trol of  the  ciliary  muscles  has  been  obtained,  and 
then  observe  the  following: 

When  it  is  desired  to  see  clairvoyantly,  with  the 
visual  sense,  tense  the  eye,  lower  the  upper  lid  partly 
over  the  pupil  of  the  eye;  that  is,  partly  close  the 
eye;  then  at  intervals  of  a  minute  or  so,  wink 
slowly,  still  holding  the  tense  condition.  This  will 
produce  a  drowsy  feeling,  which  is  the  result  of  the 
force  generated  at  the  orbicular  muscles  of  the  eye 
flowing  back  and  flooding  the  brain,  thus  relaxing 
the  mind  and  bringing  one  into  the  psychic  condition. 

When  it  is  'desired  to  look  into  the  auras  of  a  per- 
son, the  tensed  condition  should  first  be  induced, 
then  search  in  the  space  of  the  auras  with  the  eye 
the  same  as  though  one  were  searching  a  globe  or 
sphere,  or  glass  of  water,  on  the  physical  plane. 
Learn  to  focus  the  eyes  in  the  space  of  the  auras, 
or  in  empty  space,  and  eventually  one  will  see  dimly 
outlined  within  the  aura  the  otherwise  invisible 
forms,  whatsoever  they  may  be.  One  can,  also,  while 
id  this  condition,  see  astral  objects  in  the  auras  of 
the  earth;  hence,  the  nature  spirits,  hybrids,  spirits 
of  music,  and  the  forms  that  reside  in  the  four  ele- 
ments will  all  become  open  to  the  vision.  One  can 
see  astral  forms  around  the  flowers,  the  river,  brook, 
caves,  at  the  foot  of  trees,  and  so  on,  and  learn  from 
their  actions  much  of  the  nature  of  the  invisible 
world. 

Beyond  this  there  is  another  form  of  clairvoyance 
that  becomes  manifest  from  the  foregoing  exercises, 
which  is  clairvoyant  perception  and  thought  trans- 
mission. It  comes  while  in  the  drowsy  condition 
caused  by  the  eye  flooding  the  brain  with  Emotive 
Force.  It  will  be  found  that  while  in  the  tensed  con- 
dition the  mind  is  at  rest — quiescent — and  at  the 
same  time  one  will  have  a  mental  picture  or  percep- 
tion that  will  hold  the  mind  dormant. 

—32— 


Now  as  long  as  this  dormant  condition  remains 
one  will  not  be  able  to  receive  new  impressions; 
therefore,  it  will  be  necessary  to  momentarily  un- 
hitch, so  to  speak,  from  this  dormant  state;  and 
the  next  mental  state  that  follows  will,  if  all  is  well, 
be  a  clairvoyant  perception,  or  a  knowledge  external 
to  one's  own  mental  sphere.  It  may  be  a  thought 
from  some  person  near  by,  or  from  some  one  far 
away,  that  will  enter  one's  auras  through  the  tele- 
pathic strata,  or  it  may  be  an  idea  born  directly 
from  the  astral  light  into  the  auras;  or,  it  may  come 
from  the  souls  of  departed  persons,  who  are  residing 
in  the  ocsmic  rings;  or,  it  may  come  from  nature 
spirits,  elementals,  etc. 

However,  it  all  depends  upon  one's  own  prowess 
and  knowledge  of  the  invisible  worlds  to  determine 
from  just  what  source  the  impression  comes.  Hence, 
the  young  student  should  be  cautious  about  taking 
things  too  seriously,  and  not  to  believe  everything  he 
sees,  hears,  or  gets  from  any  source,  until  he  knows 
more  of  the  planes  upon  which  he  is  operating. 


CHAPTER  VII 

THE    LAW    OF    EUPHONY 

Devination  by  Euphony.  Owing  to  the  inherent 
mystic  relation  between  euphonetic  sounds,  the 
answer  to  any  question  is  contained  in  the  letters 
composing  the  written  question. 

By  resolution  we  find  the  English  language  to  be 
composed  of  forty-two  elementary  sounds,  and  each 
of  these  sounds  is,  from  all  eternity,  specifically  re- 
lated to  some  particular  department  of  nature,  and 
to  some  particular  emotion,  longing,  passion,  or  de- 
sire; and  when  sounded  by  the  human  vocal  organs, 
will  arouse  the  specific  idea  to  which  it  bears  rela- 
tion. Moreover,  it  will  do  the  same  if  merely  the 
idea  of  the  sound  enters  the  subconscious  department 
of  the  mind. 

In  obedience  to  the  foregoing  law,  we  can  expect 
and  do  find  a  specific  relation  between  the  name  of 
a  thing  and  the  thing  itself;  for  instance,  if  it  is  the 
name  of  a  human  being,  the  sounds  composing  the 
name,  being  so  often  repeated  during  the  life  of  the 
individual,  will  cause,  in  a  measure  at  least,  his  life 
and  destiny  to  take  on  the  form  indicated  by  these 
sounds;  and  would  do  so  completely  if  isolated  from 
all  other  influences  also  tending  to  shape  the  char- 
acter and  destiny. 

For  example,  suppose  a  baby  is  born  to  parents  who 
love  and  cherish  it,  and  have  an  idea  that  it  will  be 
just  a  little  finer  and  better  than  any  other  baby; 
their  emotions  towards  it  are  delicate,  and  they  wish 
it  to  grow  up  to  be  something  superior  in  nature  to 
common  babies.  Now,  in  obedience  to  the  law  of 
euphony,  the  parents  would  naturally  select  a  name 
for  the  little  one  whose  sounds  would  contain  the  at- 
tributes they  imagined  the  youngster  to  have.  Thus 
the  baby  is  named  euphonetically.  And  then,  in 
after  years,  the  law  of  euphony  would  tend  to  shape 
the  mind  of  the  progeny  until  it  represented  the 
qualities  corresponding  to  the  sounds;  hence,  destiny 
by  euphony. 

For  instance,  suppose  the  name  to  be  Claudius; 
this  represents  the  hard  C  and  the  soft  sound  of  S, 

—34— 


both  the  hard  and  the  soft  nature;  the  boy  would 
grow  up  a  pet,  and  perhaps  be  spoiled;  he  would  be 
of  a  pettish  and  irritable  nature  during  childhood; 
but  in  after  years,  the  hard  sound  of  C  would  cause 
him  to  assume  some  position  in  life  wherein  he  would 
domineer  or  rule  over  weaker  natures;  or  perhaps 
he  would  grow  up  a  worthless  degenerate  from  the 
soft  sound  of  the  S. 

In  the  same  way  such  names  as  Sally,  Jane,  Sue, 
Elizabeth,  Abraham,  John,  Jack,  etc.,  would  indicate 
practical  minded  persons,  those  who  would  have  to 
do  the  harder  and  more  practical  works  of  life.  While 
Marjorie,  Harriet,  Bernice,  etc.,  would  indicate  na- 
tures more  of  the  toyish  type,  and  be  practically 
worthless.  However,  they  are  desirable  beings,  owing 
to  a  certain  beauty  of  thought  and  goodness  of  na- 
ture; but,  like  the  roses  and  lilies,  they  require  a 
great  deal  of  husbanding  to  bring  out  the  best  from 
within  them. 

As  Clairvoyance  has  nothing  in  common  with  ob- 
jective intellectual  thought,  we  will  not  tabulate  the 
correspondence  between  sounds  of  letters  and  emo- 
tions, ideas,  etc.,  but  proceed  to  lay  down  some  rules 
by  which  these  relations  can  be  worked  out  auto- 
matically within  the  dominion  of  the  subconscious 
mind,  by  which  means  we  may  get  an  answer  to  any 
question  whatsoever  that  may  be  asked. 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  Clairvoyance  is  the*  result 
of  the  action  of  the  Sixth  principle,  or  the  higher  emo- 
tions, whose  anatomical  location  is  in  the  region  of 
the  breast  and  the  lungs,  and  as  the  parabolic  curve 
is  that  which  bears  a  specific  relation  to  this  prin- 
ciple, tending  to  arouse  it  into  action  when  presented 
to  the  souls  through  the  sense  of  sight,  we  proceed 
to  write  the  desired  questions  along  a  parabolic  curve, 
as  indicated  in  the  following  drawing.

"The  letters  of  the  question  contain  the  answer  to 
the  question,"  but  one  must  prepare  the  psychic  con- 

—35— 


dition  before  the  letters  will  reveal  the  answer.    This 
is  done  by  reciting  one  of  the  following  mantrums: 

MANTRUMS 

Wednesday  and  Saturday. 

Oh!   Spirits  of  Earth, 

Oh!    Spirits  of  Air, 

Who  knoweth  Mortal  Man's  destiny; 

Who  guideth  this  augury, 

Invisible,  immortal  wisdom, 

Pray  reveal  to  me 

What  the  answer  to  this  question 

Will  be. 

Tuesday  and   Friday. 

Guide  me,  Oh!    Spirits  of  the  Stars, 
And  this  day  let  me  see, 
What  the  answer  to  the  question 
Will  be. 

Sunday,   Monday,  and  Thursday. 

Oh!   Spirits  of  Earth, 

Oh!   Spirits  of  Air, 

Oh!   Spirits  of  the  Stars; 

Guide  and  direct  my  eye, 

And  reveal  to  me  that  which  I  wish  to  know; 

And  by  this  augury  lift  the  veil 

That  screens  our  world  from  yours, 

And  this  day  let  me  hereby  see 

The  answer  to  my  question. 

Select  the  one  corresponding  to  the  day  of  the 
week  on  which  the  question  is  being  asked,  as  indi- 
cated at  the  heading  of  each  mantrum;  having  se- 
lected the  right  mantrum,  repeat  it  earnestly  in  good 
faith.  It  need  not  be  repeated  aloud,  but  at  the  end 
the  given  name  is  to  be  repeated,  dwelling  upon  its 
most  prominent  sound.  This  sound,  and  the  man- 
trum, induces  the  required  psychic  condition,  and 
puts  one  in  touch  with  the  invisible  world  through 
the  instrumentality  of  the  subconscious  mind. 

Strive  to  diminish  the  activity  of  the  selective 
faculty  of  the  mind  as  much  as  possible;  that  is, 
suspend    intellectual    thought;    see    rather   than    cal- 

—36— 


culate  the  answer.  Let  the  eyes  roam  at  leisure 
over  the  words  composing  the  question;  eventually 
they  will  suggest  new  ideas  relating  to  the  question, 
and  in  turn  these  will  shape  themselves  into  the 
answer  within  the  subconscious  mind,  and  it  will 
later  come  to  the  threshold  of  the  objective  mind. 
In  looking  over  the  words  of  the  question,  think  of 
the  sound  of  each  letter  or  combination  of  letters; 
or,  in  other  words,  let  the  letters  impress  their  sounds 
upon  the  mind.

CHAPTER  VIII 
CLAIRVOYANT  HEALING 

A  wise  man  has  said:  "It  is  the  privilege  of  every 
individual  to  draw  on  the  Universe  for  all  forces 
necessary  to  personal  and  financial  success,  under  the 
limitations  of  endowment.  The  Universe  is  a  system 
of  law.  To  invoke  its  aid,  you  must  come  into  har- 
mony with  law.  Many  people  permit  themselves  to 
become  discouraged,  and  to  complain  that  things, 
circumstances,  God,  or  the  worlds,  are  'down  on' 
them.  This  is  an  imbecile  cry.  Nothing  is  down  on 
them  save  themselves  and  a  few  other  imbeciles.  It 
is  altogether  a  question  of  multiplying  self,  by  con- 
formity to  law,  into  one's  environment.  With  every 
intelligent  and  persistent  effort  to  do  this,  the  nature 
of  things  co-operates.  This  is  the  most  certain  fact 
in  our  lives." — Haddock. 

The  above  is  given  as  a  reminder  that  if  the  stu- 
dent has  not  yet  realized  results,  he  should  not  give 
up,  but  throw  himself  into  the  effort  with  a  strong 
determination  to  win  that  which  rightfully  belongs 
to  him,  and  which  he  can  acquire  by  persistently 
going  after  it. 

Introspection.  Introspection  is  the  act  of  looking 
within  the  body  by  the  power  of  clairvoyant  vision. 

DIAGNOSIS  AND  TREATMENT 

Diagnosis  is  the  judgment  rendered  concerning 
what  is  seen  relative  to  health  or  to  ill  health. 

Practice.  Put  yourself  into  the  clairvoyant  condi- 
tion by  suspension  of  thought;  now  look  steadily  and 
search  with  the  mind's  eye  within  the  body  of  the  pa- 
tient. At  first  you  may  see  nothing;  but  you  will, 
probably,  in  a  very  short  time  begin  to  see  dark 
places  in  the  body,  or  they  may  be  lighter  than  the 
surrounding  space.  Such  dark  or  light  places  are 
diseased  auras,  and  the  darkness  is  merely  the  aura 
of  the  diseased  organ  or  part,  which  has  taken  with- 
in itself  matter  of  some  tenuation  not  normal  to  it. 
The  flooding  of  the  part  with  such  foreign  matter 
makes  it  more  dense  than  the  general  aura  of  the 

—38— 


body,  and  it*  presents  itself  to  the  clairvoyant  vision 
as  a  dark,  or  a  light,  place. 

Darkness  is  the  most  general  appearance;  but  to 
some  clairvoyants  the  diseased  parts  may  appear  as 
light  or  colored  places.  If  so,  the  color  seen  is  the 
color  of  the  foreign  matter  of  some  tenuation  higher 
in  vibration  than  the  matter  of  the  physical  body, 
which  has  become  incorporated  with  a  part  of  its 
aura. 

Having  thus  diagnosised  the  trouble,  and  located 
the  site  of  the  disease,  it  then  remains  to  displace 
the  trouble  and  cure  the  disease. 

Proceed  as  follows:  Having  found  the  diseased 
area,  make  yourself  conscious  of  the  cause  of  the 
trouble.  Hold  this  consciousness  and  keep  your 
vision  on  the  place,  willing  that  the  foreign  matter 
be  dispersed.  After  a  few  moments  the  treatment 
may  be  suspended.  If  the  disease  is  curable,  the 
foreign  matter  will  gradually  leave  the  place  and 
health  will  return. 

The  clairvoyant,  if  he  chooses,  can  watch  the  pro- 
cess taking  place  during  the  healing.  He  will  then 
see  the  foreign  matter  begin  to  move  like  a  cloud  or 
vapor;  it  will  be  gradually  dispersed  and  the  dis- 
eased part  will  assume  the  same  degree  of  light,  or 
darkness,  as  will  be  seen  in  the  other  parts  of  the 
body. 

Prescribing.  If  the  clairvoyant  has  a  knowledge 
of  medicine  and  pathology,  he  can  extend  his  vision 
while  introspecting  and,  by  looking  deeper  into  the 
diseased  area,  see  the  pathological  changes  that  have 
taken  place,  thereby  being  enabled  to  describe  the 
disease  and  its  symptoms.  The  former  method,  how- 
ever, being  for  those  not  acquainted  with  medicine 
or  pathology,  will  not  enable  one  to  tell  the  nature  of 
the  trouble;  but  this  does  not  detract  from  the  heal- 
ing power,  as  such  persons  may  have  more  power 
than  the  physician. 

Persons  not  acquainted  with  medicine,  while  in- 
trospecting and  diagnosing,  can  select  the  proper 
remedy  by  clairvoyant  power,  by  merely  letting  the 
clairvoyant  vision  drift  to  the  kingdom  of  healing 
agents  with  which  he  may  be  acquainted,   whether 

—39— 


they  be  the  products  of  the  chemical  laboratory,  the 
crude  herb  as  it  grows  in  the  field  or  forest,  or 
whether  it  be  some  mechanical  therapy,  or  some 
drugless  method.  Whatsoever  it  may  be  that  the 
clairvoyant  vision  may  select  as  a  remedy,  it  will 
more  likely  correspond  to  the  disease,  and  have  a 
greater  curative  power,  than  what  may  be  selected 
by  the  most  powerful  intellectual  effort. 

It  must  be  remembered,  however,  that  the  clair- 
voyant vision  has  no  resources  in  selecting  remedies 
beyond  those  things  with  which  the  operator  may  be 
familiar;  and  if  his  knowledge  of  remedies  be  wrong, 
the  clairvoyant  vision  will  be  hampered,  as  it  will 
have  but  an  erratic  storehouse  of  knowledge  to  draw 
from.  The  more  acute  the  knowledge  of  the  operator 
in  therapeutics  or  otherwise,  the  clearer  will  be  the 
application  by  the  aid  of  the  clairvoyant  vision. 

Exceptions:  In  case  the  clairvoyant  is  medium- 
istic,  he  will  sometimes  have  remedies  suggested  to 
him  by  the  masters,  or  spirits  of  some  order,  with 
which  he  is  not  acquainted. 

When  such  remedies  are  suggested  by  influences 
outside  of  the  clairvoyant's  storehouse  of  knowledge, 
he  should  not  apply  it  blindly,  just  because  some 
spirit  purports  to  have  given  it;  but  he  should  with- 
hold its  application  until  he  can  learn  of  the  un- 
known properties  of  the  remedy;  otherwise,  he  may 
do  some  serious  damage  or  perhaps  injure  the  pa- 
tient, for  mistakes  in  transmission  from  the  invisible 
world  to  the  medium  are  common. 

If  the  operator  can  learn  nothing  about  the  sug- 
gested remedy,  it  will  be  profitable  for  him  to  do  some 
original  work  by  experimenting  cautiously  with  the 
remedy  on  himself  or  others,  until  its  properties  are 
learned.  By  this  method  he  will,  in  time,  surely  come 
into  possession  of  a  wealth  of  therapeutic  knowledge, 
not  to  be  attained  in  any  other  way,  which  will  be 
secrets  of  his  own,  for  the  good  of  humanity. 

Sympathetic  Diagnosis.  Some  clairvoyants,  whether 
they  be  the  learned  physician,  or  one  unacquainted 
with  diseases  and  remedies,  will,  during  diagnosis, 
experience  all  the  symptoms  of  the  patient.whether 
of  pain,  fever,  coldness,  cough,  or  what  not,  and  these 

—40— 


symptoms,  taken  on  by  the  clairvoyant,  may  help 
him  to  make  a  correct  diagnosis.  However,  such  a 
diagnosis  can  never  be  as  accurate  as  the  one  made 
from  introspection.  The  former  is  but  a  sympa- 
thetic diagnosis,  while  the  latter  is  a  pathological 
one.  The  former  may  be  erratic,  as  in  the  case  of 
hysteria  or  nervous  dyspepsia,  when  the  patient  will 
have  all  the  symptoms  in  the  catalogue  and  of  every 
known  disease  and  some  that  are  not  known;  symp- 
toms may  cause  one  to  err,  but  pathology  will  not. 
The  taking  on  of  the  symptoms  is  caused  by  the  de- 
tachments thrown  off  by  the  disordered  body  enter- 
ing the  auras  of  the  clairvoyant,  and  in  this  way  af- 
fect his  feelings  and  produce  the  symptoms. 

Astrology  is  a  great  help  in  the  diagnosis  of  dis- 
ease as  well  as  of  human  nature.  The  planets  are 
God  in  manifestation,  working  through  natural  laws, 
and  when  one  knows  of  these  laws,  the  nature  of  the 
subject  or  patient  is  more  readily  understood.  The 
student  would  do  exceedingly  well  in  taking  up  this 
science.  It  is  not  difficult,  requiring  growth  more 
than  hard  labor  or  intricate  study. 

Each  planet  has  an  affinity  for  one  of  the  seven 
principles  that  govern  the  human  body;  each  prin- 
ciple governs  one  of  the  functions  of  the  body,  and  the 
aspects  of  the  planets  to  each  other,  at  the  time  of 
birth,  tell  of  the  inborn  qualifications  of  the  mind  as 
well  as  the  body. 

According  to  the  law  of  cycles  each  principle  rules 
the  Astral  Light  for  thirty-six  years,  and  this  consti- 
tues  a  cycle  for  that  principle;  while  within  the  cycle 
itself,  each  principle  repeats  its  influence,  and  rules 
one  years  out  of  every  seven;  so  that  within  any 
given  cycle,  each  principle  rules  every  seventh  year 
in  succession. 

The  principle  ruling  the  cycle  would,  at  its  com- 
mencement, rule  during  the  first  year,  then  again 
every  seventh  year;  thus,  the  principle  ruling  the 
first  year  of  birth  would  rule  again  in  the  eighth, 
fifteenth,  twenty-second,  twenty-ninth,  and  thirty- 
sixth  years  of  life;  the  remaining  six  principles  would 
preside  over  the  remaining  thirty  years  in  sequence. 
The  principles  succeed  each  other  within  each  cycle 

—41— 


as  follows:   Seventh,  first,  fourth,  fifth,  third,  second, 
and  sixth. 

The  following  table  will  illustrate  the  rulings  of  the 
principles  during  the  cycle  of  thirty-six  years  com- 
mencing with  the  year  1873:

A  3  1879  1886  1893  1900  1907 

The  cycle  for  the  period  commencing  with  the  year 
1909  is  ruled  by  the  Fourth  Principle,  this  principle 
ruling  the  first  year,  then  the  other  principles  as  fol- 
lows: 5,  3,  2,  6,  7  and  1.  The  years  are  distributed 
in  a  manner  similar  to  the  table  above. 

These  seven  principles  work  harmoniously  through 
the  twelve  signs  of  the  Zodiac,  and  the  planets  of  our 
Solar  System,  as  shown  in  the  next  table:

The  keynotes  will  enable  the  student  to  study  the 
patient  through  the  law  of  harmony.  Each  human 
being  has  two  keynotes:  one  from  the  cycle  proper, 
which  indicates  his  individuality,  and  one  from  the 
birth  year,  which  indicates  his  personality;  but  both 
may  be  the  same,  according  to  the  year  of  birth,  in 
which  case  the  principle  will  have  increased  strength.

CHAPTER  IX 

CLAIRVOYANT  DIVINATION 

Fatidic  Vision.  Fatidic  vision  is  the  power  by 
which  clairvoyants  expose  events  in  the  life  of  a  per- 
son, or  in  the'  history  of  the  world. 

Clairvoyance  is  the  basic  power  of  all  divinations, 
no  matter  by  what  name  they  may  go;  hence,  be- 
fore exposing  any  other  method,  we  will  dwell  for  a 
moment  upon  the  power  of  the  clairvoyant  to  look 
into   the   future,   or  into   the   past. 

Several  factors  enter  into  the  process  of  such  ac- 
tion, which  will  be  taken  up  in  order. 

First:  In  obedience  to  the  law  of  polarity,  the 
clairvoyant  either  consciously  or  unconsciously, 
establishes  a  polar  affinity  between  his  own  sixth 
principle  and  the  auric  rings  of  his  client.  This 
polar  affinity  causes  the  emotive  force  to  flow  from 
client  to  operator,  and  with  it  comes  detachments  or 
memories  that  were  stored  in  the  client's  auric 
rings. 

These  detachments  enter  the  auric  rings  of  the 
operator  and  float  in*  the  currents  therein,  and  as 
they  pass  into  the  perceptive  aura  of  the  operator, 
he  perceives  them  in  clairvoyant  vision  as  though 
they  were  in  his  own  mind,  the  operator  then  inter- 
prets or  tells  what  he  sees,  and  in  this  manner  all 
past  events  are  told. 

Future  events  are  calculated  from  the  past,  either 
by  a  conscious  or  an  unconscious  process.  If  con- 
sciously, the  operator  simply  reasons  logically  from 
cause  to  effect,  using  his  vision  as  a  premise,  draw- 
ing his  conclusions  as  a  natural  consequence  of  the 
relation  of  a  minor  to  a  major  premise.  He  uses 
simply  a  logical  process  to  determine  what  will  hap- 
pen from  what  has  happened.  The  truthfulness  of 
such  predictions  depends  upon  the  operator's  power 
of  reason,  and  on  the  logical  processes  he  uses. 

If  the  reason  takes  place  unconsciously,  the  pro- 
cess is  the  same,  except  that  it  is  with  greater  rapid- 
ity; and  instead  of  taking  place  in  the  objective  in- 
tellect it  occurs  in  the  subjective  department  of  the 

—43— 


intellectual  function;  in  this  case  the  operator  will 
simply  tell  what  he  sees  without  knowing  why  he 
sees  it.  The  truthfulness  of  this  mode  of  prediction 
depends  upon  his  clairvoyant  development,  and  upon 
the  depth  of  the  condition  or  power  of  the  polarity 
established  between  the  operator  and  has  client. 

Second:  The  Psychological  Unit  carries  with  it 
detachments  or  memories  that  it  has  acquired  in 
past   incarnations. 

The  Psychological  Unit,  however,  is  closely  re- 
lated to  the  sixth  principle;  and  the  clairvoyant,  in 
obedience  to  the  law  of  polarity,  establishes  a  polar 
affinity  between  his  own  Psychological  Unit  and  the 
sixth  principle  of  his  client,  therefore,  through  this 
polar  affinity  his  Psychological  Unit  comes  in  touch 
with  that  of  the  client  by  means  of  the  currents  of 
emotive  force,  which  flows  from  the  auric  rings  from 
one  to  the  other. 

All  Psychological  Units,  owing  to  their  intimate  re- 
lations to  the  Great  First  Cause,  contain  within  them- 
selves from  all  eternity,  properties  and  powers  sim- 
ilar to  those  of  the  Great  First  Cause  itself,  which, 
when  awakened,  can  reveal  to  the  lower  principles, 
especially  to  the  sixth,  any  knowledge  relating  to 
the  visible  or  the   invisible   universe. 

The  Psychological  Units  of  the  operator  and  client 
simply  communicate  to  each  other,  that  of  the  client 
reveals  to  the  operator  its  future  as  a  human  being; 
the  operator  interprets  it  in  human  language  and 
gives  it  back  to  the  client. 

Third:  Elementals,  spirits,  thought  forms,  hybrid 
spirits,  and  the  like,  that  have  been  associated  with 
the  client  or  the  operator,  communicate  knowledge 
to  the  operator  in  various  ways,  such  as  feelings, 
longings,  words,  or  by  symbols,  and  serve  as  a 
premise  by  which  the  clairvoyant  deduces  his  con- 
clusions, either  by  the  conscious  or  unconscious 
reasoning  process. 

Fourth:  If  the  clairvoyant  be  scientific,  he  may 
read  the  auric  rings  and  draw  conclusions  from  their 
colors,  lines,  angles,  curves  and  other  criteria  that 
he  may  see  in  the  auric  rings  of  his  client,  or  from 
the  associated  elementals. 

—44— 


Fifth:  The  operator  may  associate  with  his  clair- 
voyant vision,  either  consciously  or  unconsciously, 
the  general  habits  of  his  client  as  to  dress,  manner 
oi  conducting  himself,  etc.,  or  he  may  read  the  facial 
expression,  or  use  physiology,  phrenology,  palmistry, 
to  aid  his  power  in  finding  premises  from  which  to 
draw  conclusions. 

Sixth:      One  of  the  greatest  aids   to  clairvoyants, 
;  in  finding  these  premises,  is  Astrology;    and*  while 
'■>.  of  itself,   it  is  the   most  accurate  and   far   reaching 
.  means  at  our  command   for  looking  into  the  future 
or  past  history  of  man,  or  of  nations,  or  the  world, 
or  even  of  the  universe,  with  it  alone,  we  can  never 
accomplish  what  can  be  done  when  it  is  united  with 
the    all-penetrating   powers    of   the    trained    clairvoy- 
ant. 

Astrology  will  give  us  the  cues  or  tips,  if  they  may 
1  be   so   termed;    but   the   clairvoyant  vision    and    the 
power   of    reasoning    will    take    these    cues    and    un- 
erringly follow  them  to  the  very  limits  of  infinity. 

In  reading  the  future  or  the  past  history  of  man, 
nation,  the  world,  or  of  the  universe,  first  get  the 
cues  from  Astrology,  then  unfold  them  by  the  power 
of   clairvoyant  vision   and   reason. 

Palmistry,  physiology,  phrenology,  and  all  of  the 
semi-exact,  as  well  as  of  the  exact  sciences, — physics, 
chemistry,  geology,  botany,  history,  in  fact  anything 
and  everything  that  is  capable  of  giving  a  cue,  will 
serve  the  purpose  of  starting  the  clairvoyant  vision 
and  reasoning  process,  by  which  every  fact  in  sci- 
ence may  be  unfolded  to  the  utmost  minuteness  and 
to  all  infinity.  Thus,  by  the  power  of  clairvoyant 
vision  and  reason,  all  departments  of  science  can  be 
enhanced  and  advanced  to  a  degree  that  can  never 
be  attained  by  the  crude  methods  of  reasoning,  so 
far  as  the  second  principle  is  developed  in  the  pres- 
ent fifth  principle  race. 

Beyond  the  aforesaid  somewhat  exact  aids  to  clair- 
voyants, many  other  empirical  means  have  been  prac- 
ticed more  or  less  in  all  ages  of  the  world,  by  all 
classes  of  people,  from  the  savage  to  the  enlightened 
European  and  American;  some  of  which  are  given 
as  follows: 

—45— 


Card  reading,  which  is  merely  an  aid  to  the  sus- 
pension of  thought.  The  cards  act  as  cues  from 
which  the  clairvoyant  starts  his  vision  and  the  rea- 
soning process.  The  I  cards  within  themselves  are 
nothing  and  are  worthless;  they  merely  aid  in  in- 
ducing the  clairvoyant  condition. 

Reading  Tea  and  Coffee  Grounds,  is  the  same  as 
with  the  cards;  they  aid  merely  in  suspending 
thought,  and  in  offering  suggestions  to  the  clairvoy- 
ant sense  in  the  following  manner: 

Thought  being  suspended,  and  the  clairvoyant 
vision  being  partly  but  not  wholly  opened,  the  clair- 
voyant faculty  is  ready  to  transmit  the  impressions, 
but  does  not  do  so  owing  to  the  inertia  of  the  mat- 
ter composing  the  brain.  There  is  required  just  a 
little  stronger  impulse  to  overcome  this  inertia  than 
the  clairvoyant  can  summon  from  within  himself; 
so,  by  having  a  system  of  interpretations  or  mean- 
ings, for  the  various  lines  and  figures  as  seen  or  con- 
jured up  in  the  grounds,  these  interpretations  will 
act  as  stimula  to  overcome  the  brain  inertia,  and 
start  the  action  of  the  clairvoyant  faculty. 

Be  it  understood  that  clairvoyant  vision,  although 
independent  of  the  brain,  requires  brain  action;  for 
without  the  brain  the  sixth  principle  could  not  com- 
municate to  the  physical  world.  The  brain  is  the 
medium  through  which  it  acts,  and  if  the  brain  re- 
fuses to  act,  there  can  be  no  transmission  of  results 
to  the  physical  plane. 

Thus,  the  card  reader,  or  reader  of  tea  leaves  or 
coffee  grounds,  may  have  the  clairvoyant  vision  with- 
in himself;  but,  without  their  aid,  he  may  be  unable 
to  give  expression  to  what  is  taking  place  in  his  sub- 
jective mind.  This  vision,  while  in  the  subjective 
mind  and  beyond  the  power  of  expression,  may  be  a 
correct  impulse  relative  to  the  subject  under  exam- 
ination, and  yet  not  be  able  to  raise  to  the  thresh- 
old of  objective  consciousness  and  receive  expression 
through  words;  but  as  the  clairvoyant  looks  at  the 
cards,  tea  leaves  or  coffee  grounds,  the  meanings 
ascribed  to  certain  cards,  lines,  or  figures,  arouse 
ideas  in  the  mind  (objective) ;  and  if  one  of  the 
ascribed  meanings  should  happen  to  be  like  or  nearly 

—46— 


so,  to  the  clairvoyant  idea  in  the  subjective  mind,  it 
will  stimulate  the  subjective  brain  cells  in  such  a 
manner  as  to  bring  to  the  objective  consciousness 
the  latent  idea  or  clairvoyant  vision,  and  the  opera- 
tor can  then  give  expression  to  the  same. 

Thus,  cards,  tea  leaves,  and  coffee  grounds,  are 
nothing  in  themselves,  and  any  meaning  could  be 
ascribed  to  the  spots,  lines,  and  figures,  and  would 
act  just  as  well  for  clairvoyant  stimula;  however, 
the  best  code  of  meanings  would  be  the  ones  cover- 
ing the  things  most  likely  to  occur. 

Many  methods  have  been  adopted  by  clairvoyants 
tc  arouse  this  faculty,  or  to  overcome  brain  ineritia 
and  suspend  thought;  but  all  act  in  the  same  way; 
the  superiority  of  one  over  another  being  only  that 
some  may  have  greater  stimulating  powers,  or  more 
power  to  suspend  thought;  the  stimulating  power 
coming  from  the  peculiar  meanings  ascribed  to  certain 
things,  which  things  are  more  likely  to  be  similar  to 
the  subjective  ideas. 

Among  some  of  the  many  methods  practiced  may 
be  mentioned  crystal  gazing,  magic  mirrors,  and 
divination  with  needles.  Alactromancy  or  divination 
by  means  of  a  cock,  which,  when  placed  in  a  circle 
made  of  sand,  will  pick  at  certain  letters  of  the  al- 
phabet, and  from  these  letters  the  interpretations  are 
made  up.  Divinations  with  onions.  Also  gastro- 
mance,  lecanomancy,  margoritomance,  raphsodo- 
mancy,  comance,  spodanomancy,  geomance,  etc.

CHAPTER  X 

CONTROLLING  THE  AKASA 

If  any  object,  such  as  a  stone,  a  bit  of  ore  from  a 
mine,  as  gold,  silver,  or  iron;  or  in  fact  anything  at 
all,  be  brought  within  the  auric  ring  of  light,  or  the 
ring  of  mineral  magnetism  of  the  clairvoyant  when 
he  is  in  a  deep  trance  state,  he  will  proceed  to  de- 
scribe it,  and  unravel  its  past  history;  tell  where  it 
came  from,  in  what  kind  of  strata  it  was  found,  and 
its  associated  geological  conditions. 

This  is  accomplished  as  follows:  Everything  con- 
tains within  itself  a  history  of  itself,  for  everything 
contains  detachments  from  everything  with  which  it 
has  ever  been  associated;  so,  when  a  portion  is 
broken  off  from  a  body  of  mineral,  the  portion,  no 
matter  how  small,  becomes  the  center  of  auric  rings 
peculiar  to  itself;  it  becomes  a  separate  individual, 
and  like  its  parent  it  receives  auras  of  its  own;  while, 
as  a  part  of  the  parent  rock,  it  had  no  individual 
auras,  yet,  as  a  part  of  the  whole,  it  shared  the 
auras  of  the  whole.        * 

A  detached  portion  of  mineral  will  carry  through 
all  time  the  detachments  received  rrom  the  parent 
rock;  but  it  will,  as  an  individual,  acquire  more  de- 
tachments after  leaving  the  parent,  and  these  de 
tachments  will  differ  from  that  which  the  parent 
thereafter  acquires.  The  particle  will  contain  all 
that  the  parent  had  acquired  up  to  the  time  of  be- 
ing broken  from  it;  but  after  separation,  the  parent 
and  the  particle  become  separate  individuals,  and 
acquire  detachments  from  different  associations;  and 
in  time  will  become  dissimilar  in  structure  and  seem- 
ingly lose  all  relations  to  each  other,  so  far  as  physi- 
cal science  can  ascertain  relationship. 

Any  given  particle  of  matter  then  contains  within 
itself  the  history  of  all  other  states  in  which  it  may 
ever  have  been  associated;  and  when  brought  within 
the  auric  rings  of  a  highly  sensitized  clairvoyant,  it 
will  give  off  detachments  from  its  auras,  which  will 
enter  the  auras  of  the  operator,  and  act  as  stimuli 
to  start  clairvoyant  vision.  Thus  he  may  see  a  com- 
plete history  of  the  mineral,  or  he  may  be  able  only 
to  catch  glimpses  of  its  history,  in  the  different; 
ages,  in  a  fragmentary  way;    but  if  its  powers  are 

—48— 


sufficient  and  the  clairvoyant  reason,  as  well  as  the 
clairvoyant  vision,  are  developed,  he  can  take  these 
stimuli  as  cues,  and,  reasoning  backwards,  unravel 
the  complete  history  of  the  mineral,  even  taking  it 
back  to  the  time  when  it  was  in  the  state  of  Prima 
Materia. 

(Note).  This  power  is  as  yet  not  fully  developed 
in  the  fifth  principle  race,  but  will  be  completely  un- 
folded in  the  sixth  principle  race  as  a  common  asset 
to  the  human  mind. 

Shaping  Events.  Clairvoyance  is  a  power  of  the 
sixth  principle,  and  this  principle  is  related  to  the 
auras  of  Emotive  Force,  which  are  unlimited  as  re- 
lates to  extension;  so  that  the  clairvoyant,  when  in 
the  psychic  condition,  is  in  touch  with  anything  he 
may  have  under  his  vision,  without  reference  to  dis- 
tance or  to  time. 

If  his  will  is  free  and  united  with  the  sixth 
principle,  it  will  become  active  at  the  place  where 
his  vision  is  concentrated;  and  by  the  power  of  will 
he  can  control  what  he  sees,  and  in  a  measure  shape 
events  accordingly. 

Thus,  should  he  have  a  clairvoyant  vision  of  the 
life  of  a  person,  and  see  therein  something  unpleas- 
ant for  that  person,  he  can  dispel  it  by  willing  it  not 
to  be;  this  process  is  analogous  to  dispelling  disease 
producing  matter  from  a  diseased  aura  in  the  body. 

While  a  clairvoyant  is  not  all  powerful,  nor  un- 
failing, yet,  in  a  measure,  he  can  operate  for  good  or 
evil,  and  at  any  distance. 

Owing  to  the  intimate  relation  of  the  will  to  the 
various  tenuations  of  matter,  through  the  Emotive 
Force,  all  matter  of  whatsoever  tenuation  or  plane, 
tends  to  assume  the  form  that  the  clairvoyant  gives 
it  in  his  vision. 

If  the  clairvoyant  does  so  operate  on  matter  of  any 
tenuation,  he  puts  himself  in  direct  opposition  to  the 
forces  of  such  matter,  and  if  he  is  powerful  enough 
and  his  will  be  free,  he  will  accomplish  his  end;  but 
should  he  not  be  powerful  enough,  then  all  the  en- 
ergy he  puts  forth  against  the  body  of  matter  will, 
by  its  resistance,  return  to  him  and  reverse  his  will. 
If  his  intentions  were  good  and  beneficient,  when  his 
will  meets  with  a  reversal,  all  the  good,  that  he  has 
sent  forth,  will  return  to  him  as  a  beneficient  gift. 

—49— 


But  if  his  intentions  were  evil,  the  returning  energy 
will  do  to  him  as  he  would  have  done  to  the  body  of 
another,  but  with  some  modifications;  and,  at  all 
events,  the  returning  evil  will  not  be  a  desirable  ac- 
quisition. 

Dangers  of  Clairvoyance.  Clarvoyance  is  a  great 
power,  and  like  all  great  powers,  it  is  capable  of  great 
good  when  properly  used,  but  it  is  also  capable  of 
great  evil  when  improperly  used. 

Clairvoyance,  as  a  means  of  fortune  telling,  while 
seemingly  innocuous,  is  the  cause  of  much  misfor- 
tune when  used  by  unscientific  persons  who  do  not 
realize  its  wide  scope  and  range  of  application,  and 
when  also  used  for  the  purpose  of  making  the  al- 
mighty dollar  roll  into  their  coffers. 

Perhaps  it  will  be  well  to  state,  that  it  is  not  only 
to  the  clairvoyant  that  it  is  dangerous,  but  also  to 
those  who  are  not  clairvoyant  but  make  pretensions 
to  be  able  to  tell  the  fortunes  of  others;  for,  suppose 
a  believing  sensitive  goes  to  a  fortune  teller,  and  is 
told  of  some  calamity  about  to  befall  him;  the  idea 
is  planted  in  the  subjective  mind  from  where  it  actu- 
ates the  individual,  who  blindly  follows  out  what  the 
fortune  teller  has  told  him,  believing  it  to  be  a 
fatality  fixed  upon  him  by  nature;  when,  in  reality, 
such  destiny  never  existed  until  the  fortune  teller 
put  it  into  the  client's  subjective  mind  by  sugges- 
tion, or  shaped  it  by  clairvoyant  power. 

Thus  the  advice  given  by  such  persons  do  much 
harm  as  well  as  some  good;  these  influences  are  ac- 
cepted as  true  clairvoyance,  when,  in  fact,  in  many 
cases  there  is  no  clairvoyance  in  the  prognostications 
at  all. 

To  avoid  such  evils,  the  true  and  conscientious 
clairvoyant  should  never  describe  events,  in  the  lives 
of  persons,  that  may  in  any  way,  through  the  power 
of  suggestion,  lead  them  into  trouble;  but  he  should 
strive  to  dispel  any  evil  seen  hovering  over  the 
client. 

If  the  clairvoyant  knowingly  and  willingly,  or  for 
a  sum  of  money,  voluntarily  suggests  or  brings  such 
evils  on  any  person,  he  will  be  taking  into  his  own 
auras,  karma  that  at  death  will  draw  him  into  the 
lower  cosmic  rings  of  purgatory  and  hell  in  devican. 

—50— 


CHAPTER  XI 
PSYCHOMETRY 

Psychometry  is  so  closely  related  to  Clairvoyance 
that  it  is  included  in  these  lessons  in  order  that  the 
subject  may  be  complete. 

Psychometry  is  an  art  that  has  for  its  object  the 
reading  of  all  universal  phenomena;  and,  when 
mastered  in^a  practical  way,  all  nature  becomes  as 
an  open  book,  and  the  various  phenomena  of  the 
universe  unfolds  before  the  psychometrist. 

A  psychometrist  is  one  who  has,  from  the  study 
of  the  human  body,  become  acquainted  with  the  laws 
governing  it,  and  learned  its  true  relation  to  every 
other  thing  in  the  universe,  the  six  remaining  souls 
included.  He  is  one  who  knows  the  relations  between 
the  Microcosm  and  the  Macrocosm,  and  having 
gained  a  superior  and  accurate  knowledge  of  the 
former,  he  can,  in  obedience  to  the  law  of  corre- 
spondence, trace  the  relation  of  any  part  of  it  to 
some  corresponding  part  of  the  Macrocosm.  Thus, 
by  comparing  the  known  (Microcosm)  to  the  un- 
known (Macrocosm)  the  unknown  may  also  become 
known. 

The  science  of  Psychometry  rests  upon  a  few  fun- 
damental principles  relative  to  the  seven-fold  consti- 
tution of  man  and  of  the  universe.  As  the  human 
body  has  been  the  criterion  from  which  we  have  de- 
duced the  text  of  "THE  FIFTH  FORCE,"  it  is  again 
the  criterion  by  which  we  will  read  the  phenomena 
of  the  universe. 

The  human  body  is  a  book  of  life,  having  seven 
chapters,  and  many  pages.  Each  principle  repre- 
sents a  chapter,  and  in  each  chapter  is  written  a 
seventh  part  of  the  history  and  plan  of  the  universe. 

Psychometry  is  truly  the  algebra  of  science. 

We  will  first  unfold  the  fundamental  principles 
underlying  the  art,  from  which  we  will  evolve  the 
practical  application  thereof. 

Psychometry  is  divisible  into  two  branches;  to- 
wit,  Occult  psychometry,  or  that  branch  of  the  sci- 
ence which  requires  special  occult  powers  and  train- 
ing, and  which  cannot  be  attained  by  all  persons  at 
this  time. 

—51— 


Occult  psychometry  rests  upon  five  fundamental 
princples:  change  in  the  astral  body;  influence  of 
the  superphysical  senses;  changes  of  polarity  of  the 
body;  influence  of  detachments;  influence  of  lines 
of  force  and  of  currents. 

The  second  branch,  which  is  not  in  the  realm  of  the 
occult,  becomes  an  exact  science  as  illustrated  in 
the  New  Philosophy,  "THE  FIFTH  FORCE,"  and 
can  be  attained  by  any  person  having  the  necessary 
intelligence  and  memory. 

The  astral  body,  or  the  third  principle,  being  com- 
posed of  matter  of  the  third  tenuation,  is  an  elastic, 
amorphous,  highly  tenuated  substance  concentrated 
within  the  physical  body,  and  also  highly  tenuated 
around  the  body.  It  is  acted  upon  by  all  external 
things  through  the  five  senses,  and  has  a  tendency 
to  take  on  the  form  of  the  body  acting  upon  it. 

The  various  external  influences,  such  as  sound, 
music,  color,  odors,  flavors,  etc.,  arouse  within  the 
living  human  being  some  emotion,  desire,  longing, 
feeling,  idea,  etc.,  which  are  isochronous  with  a 
change  of  form  of  the  astral  body. 

It  is  by  reason  of  this  change  of  form  of  the  astral 
body  that  we  are  able  to  distinguish  one  thing  from 
another.  Without  the  astral  body  we  would  be  in  a 
state  of  emotional  paralysis,  and  while  we  could 
reason  about  a  thing,  and  in  this  way  know  of  it,  we 
could  never  have  a  feeling  that  it  exists.  We  could 
reason  about  love,  justice,  mercy,  truth,  or  we  -could 
reason  that  certain  lines  or  colors  in  a  landscape 
made  up  a  beautiful  scenery,  or  that  sugar  was  sweet, 
vinegar  sour,  salt  salty,  or  that  a  mother  should  have 
love  for  her  child;  but  if  there  was  no  astral  body, 
nor  any  change  possible  in  it,  we  could  never  know 
anything  about  these  things  as  they  really  are. 
There  would  be  no  feeling  associated  with  the  idea 
that  they  are.  We  might  be  in  heaven  and  unable 
to  enjoy  it  as  it  would  be  impotent  to  excite  feeling, 
and  heaven  would  produce  no  different  sensations  or 
feelings,  than  the  sight  of  a  block  of  wood  or  of 
stone. 

In  fact,  we  know  nothing  of  external  things  at  all; 
all  we  really  know  is  the  feeling  associated  with  the 
peculiar    or    specific    forms    assumed    by    the    astral 

—52— 


body;    and   these   forms   are   induced   from   external 
things  acting  upon  it  through  the  five  senses. 

Feeling  or  emotion  changes  by  reason  of  a  change 
of  contour  or  form  of  the  astral  body,  excited  by  ex- 
ternal things  through  the  senses. 

Again,  emotions  arising  within  the  souls  from  im- 
pressions taken  into  the  aura  at  some  previous  time 
through  the  senses,  and  having  been  stored  up  in 
the  auric  rings,  will  cause  a  change  in  the  contour 
of  the  astral  body. 

Plato,  speaking  of  the  perfect  beauty,  says  if  we 
would  come  into  possession  of  perfect  beauty,  we 
should  from  our  earliest  youth  be  in  love  with  a 
beautiful  form,  and  then  everything  in  nature  will 
appear  to  partake  of  this  beauty;  and,  thus,  love  of 
form  and  beauty  is  raised  from  the  individual  to  the 
universal  and  is  rendered  ideal.  The  law  is,  that 
whatever  we  love  and  desire  we  are  becoming. 

Thus,  if  we  behold  a  beautiful  form  and  desire  to 
possess  it,  the  astral  body  assumes  that  form;  and 
within  the  living  organism  this  form  awakens  the 
emotion,  desire,  or  feeling  that  the  form  represents. 

For  example,  if  a  man  beholds  a  beautiful  female 
form,  his  astral  body  instantly  bounds  into  the  exact 
form  that  he  beholds,  or,  to  be  accurate,  that  he 
thinks  he  beholds,  for  one  man  might  see  beauty  in 
that  particular  woman,  while  another  would  not. 
Again,  when  seen  on  the  street  beautifully  robed,  the 
sum  total  of  what  is  seen,  the  robes,  and  the  visible 
portion  of  the  body,  would  suggest  a  beautiful  form 
beneath  the  robes,  and  the  astral  body  would  take 
up  the  form  of  what  is  imagined;  but,  if  seen  at  the 
bath,  the  form  beneath  the  robes  might  excite  dis- 
gust. Why?  Because  the  form  imagined  gave  the 
astral  body  a  form  that  excited  agreeable  sensations, 
while  the  form  at  the  bath  created  disagreeable 
feelings.  Thus  there  are  true  and  false  impressions 
acting  upon  the  astral  body. 

This  false  impression  is  caused  by  two  false  stim- 
ula,  one  from  the  object  itself,  and  the-  other  from 
emotions  aroused  within  the  souls,  from  stored  up 
impressions. 

Brutes  and  uncultured  persons  are  not  so  strongly 
affected   by   what  is   seen,   or   by   what   is   taken   in 

—53— 


through  the  senses,  because  their  astral  bodies  are 
of  a  more  crude  nature,  and  have  not  the  same 
elasticity  as  have  those  of  the  more  cultured  and 
refined    persons. 

This  elasticity  can  be  cultivated,  and  when  this  is 
done,  the  person,  being  also  sensitive,  becomes  an 
apt  psychometrist,  provided  he  is  learned  deeply  in 
its  study. 

The  Astral  body  is  further  susceptible  to  changes 
from  internal  causes,  such  as  voluntary  emotional 
activity,  imagination,  will,  etc.  The  adept  of  psy- 
chometry  can  thus  change  the  form  of  his  astral  body 
at  will,  making  it  conform  to  the  form  he  beholds, 
and  by  merely  noticing  the  sensations,  feelings,  de- 
sires, etc.,  that  the  new  form  arouses,  he  can  deduce 
therefrom  the  nature  of  the  form. 

Again,  if  the  will  and  reason  are  weak,  and  the 
astral  body  too  sensitive,  or  too  highly  stimulated, 
delusions  will  result.  The  operator  may  have  an 
idea  of  a  post  in  the  ground,  when  instantly  his 
astral  body  assumes  the  form  of  the  post,  and  he  will 
feel  as  though  he  was  in  the  ground;  he  will  feel  the 
earth  around  the  lower  part  of  the  post  (his  body) 
and  the  upper  part  of  the  post  will  be  his  upper  ex- 
tremities; and  if  the  delusion  is  powerful  enough, 
and  his  reason  weak,  he  will  be  insane  with  the  idea 
that  he  is  a  post  in  the  ground. 

The  astral  body  being  closely  associated  with  the 
physical  body  is  subject  to  the  law  of  inertia;  hence, 
the  greater  the  mass  and  density,  the  slower  the  be- 
ginning of  an  action  or  a  change;  and  the  smaller 
the  mass,  and  the  more  tenuated  it  is,  the  quicker 
it  is  to  assume  a  change  of  form. 

Hence,  a  large  person,  having  a  great  volume  of 
material  in  the  astral  body,  would  be  slower  to  feel 
the  impulses  coming  in  through  the  senses;  he  would 
therefore  be  slower  to  anger,  or  to  love,  or  slower 
to  express  himself,  than  would  a  smaller  person 
with  a  smaller  astral  body;  hence,  small  persons  of 
irritable  temperaments,  have  small  sensitive  astral 
bodies.  However,  while  this  is  the  general  rule, 
there  are  exceptions  to  it;  for  a  small  person  may 
condense  so  much  astral  body  into  his  physical  body, 
that  from  the  inertia  thereof  he  becomes  slow  to 
respond  to  external  stimula;  and  the  reverse  with 
large  persons.

CHAPTER   XII 

THE    SUPERPHYSICAL   MAN 

Influence  of  the  Superphysical  Senses.  Focal 
points  are  centers  for  the  excitement  of  various  feel- 
ings, emotions,  desires,  longings,  ideas,  and  passions. 
They  are  excited  from  external  influences  by  de- 
tachments given  off  from  the  body  being  examined. 

Again,  they  can  be  excited  by  internal  influences, 
such  as  the  above  mentioned  emotions  that  come 
up  within  the  microcosm  as  memories,  by  the  mo- 
mentary or  temporary  reaction  of  detachments  that 
have  been  taken  into  the  auric  rings  at  some  former 
time,  or  by  reason  of  physical  changes,  such  as  may 
be  occasioned  by  sickness  or  injuries,  when  new 
chemical  products  are  formed  in  the  body  that  excite 
the  foci. 

Suppose  a  certain  bit  of  stone  is  given  to  the  psy- 
chometrist  to  examine.  In  a  few  moments  it  imparts 
to  his  auras  some  detachments;  these  become  local- 
ized in  the  region  of  a  focal  point  corresponding  to 
the  nature  of  the  detachments.  The  focal  point  will 
alarm  the  astral  body  of  the  presence  of  the  intrud- 
ing detachments,  by  throwing  out  waves  of  the  Emo- 
tive Force  along  the  lines  of  force  emanating  from 
the  excited  focus;  and  all  foci,  that  are  related  to  the 
excited  one  by  connecting  lines  of  force,  become 
aroused  and  also  throw  out  waves  of  Emotive  Force. 
This  commotion  causes  the  astral  body  to  assume 
the  form  represented  by  the  invading  detachments. 

The  Psychological  Unit  becomes  conscious  of  the 
change,  and  interprets  the  feeling,  longing,  desire, 
or  thought  associated  with  the  new  form  that  the 
astral  body  has  assumed,  and  intuitive  judgment  is 
rendered  concerning  the  body  under  examination. 

If  the  foci  are  excited  within  the  body,  the  same 
changes  take  place  as  though  they  were  excited  from 
external  things,  except  that  the  detachments  are 
released  within  the  body  near  the  foci,  instead  of 
coming  in  through  the  auric  rings  of  the  body. 

Thus,  any  food,  drug,  or  other  substance,  taken  in- 
to the  system,  gives  off  detachments  that  work  such 
changes;    this  is  the  reason  that  certain  drugs  pro- 

—55— 


duce  certain  delusions,  fancies,  longings,  desires,  and 
passions,  as  they,  by  such  action,  change  the  form 
of  the  astral  body  to  a  form  that  conforms  to  the 
nature  of  the  drug. 

For  example,  canabis  indica  is  a  bi-sexually  polar- 
ized drug,  and  when  taken  into  the  system  of  male 
or  female,  it  throws  the  astral  body  into  the  form 
of  the  opposite  sex;  that  is,  if  the  male  takes  the 
drug  in  a  proper  amount,  his  astral  body  will  assume 
a  female  form,  and  he  will  desire  the  female,  for  then 
she  is  a  part  of  his  life  and  consciousness;  he  is 
conscious  in  her  for  she  is  a  living  part  of  himself, 
and  he  is  not  complete  without  her.  Thus  admiration 
of  the  opposite  sex  is  aroused. 

Changes  of  Polarity.  The  various  modes  of  energy 
emanating  from  the  body  set  up  currents  in  the 
auric  rings.  Detachments  coming  into  the  auric  rings 
from  the  surrounding  cosmos  are  sometimes  made  to 
float  in  these  currents.  Certain  polarity  of  the  body 
attracts  or  repels  certain  detachments  and  tenua- 
tions  of  matter  in  such  a  way  as  to  cause  them  to 
circulate  around  and  through  the  body  in  these  cur- 
rents. The  polarity  of  the  human  body  is  not  stable, 
but  is  susceptible  to  changes  from  influences  either 
within  the  body  or  from  outside  of  it. 

Now,  let  us  for  a  moment  refer  to  the  laws  of 
magnetism,  and  take  up  a  magnetized  bar  of  steel; 
place  it  beside  another  bar  of  steel  not  yet  magne- 
tized, and  what  happens?  Taking  up  the  second  bar, 
it:  will  be  found  to  have  also  become  a  magnet,  having 
similar  polarity  to  the  one  from  which  it  was  mag- 
netized. This  process  of  magnetizing  one  bar  from 
another  is  called  induction;  that  is,  the.  magnetized 
bar  had  power  to  induce  a  similar  condition  in  the 
second  one;  and  if  the  latter  be  a  tempered  bar  of 
steel,  it  will  become  a  permanent  magnet,  similar  to 
the  first  one;  but  if  it  be  only  a  bar  of  soft  iron,  it 
will  lose  its  magnetism  and  polar  arrangement  the 
moment  the  permanent  magnet  is  removed. 

Now,  while  all  substance  does  not  contain  the  same 
form  of  magnetism  as  does  iron,  yet,  all  substance  is 
subject  to  the  same  laws  of  polarity  and  induction. 

The  human  body  being  a  plastic  magnet,   it   can, 

—56— 


and  does,  have  its  polar  equilibrium  disturbed  by 
bodies  with  which  it  comes  in  proximity,  or  in  con- 
tact. 

So  in  psychometry,  when  an  object  to  be  examined 
is  brought  within  the  auric  rings  of  the  operator,  to 
such  proximity  that  its  lines  of  force  can  act  on  the 
body  of  the  operator,  his  body  undergoes  a  change 
of  polar  arrangement,  and  adjusts  itself  to  the  polar 
arrangement  of  the  object  under  examination. 

The  polar  arrangement  of  the  operator's  astral 
body  now  being  similar  to  that  of  the  object  of  ex- 
amination, induces  in  the  microcosm,  isochronously 
with  the  change  of  form  in  the  astral  body,  ideas, 
thoughts,  feelings,  desires,  longings  and  passions, 
corresponding  to  the  nature  of  the  object. 

All  parts  of  an  object,  whether  they  be  lines  of 
force,  detachments,  or  currents,  always  bear  a  fixed 
relation  to  each  other,  and  if  one  is  changed  the 
whole  are  changed;  so  that  if  the  polar  arrangement 
is  changed  within  a  body,  it  changes  all  the  functions 
accordingly.  From  these  changes  come  similar  feel- 
ings, longings,  etc.  Several  causes  are  capable  of 
producing  the  same  effects,  although  no  two  causes 
are  exactly  alike.  It  is  the  combined  action  of  all 
of  these  causes,  tending  towards  one  common  effect, 
that  makes  psychometry  possible;  for  any  single 
cause,  although  it  might  tend  to  produce  the  effect, 
could  not  do  so  by  reason  of  insufficient  stimulation; 
but  when  all  the  causes  combine  to  one  end,  the 
stimulus  becomes  powerful  enough  to  produce  the 
effect,  and  psychometrical  illumination  results. 

Detachments.  Detachments  are  minute  particles 
of  matter  that  become  detached  from  the  parent 
body,  and  are  thrown  off  from  it  like  the  odor  of  a 
rose;  and,  so  to  speak,  floating  in  the  etheric  strata 
surrounding  the  object  are  attracted  to  other  objects 
in  obedience  to  the  law  of  polarization,  or  attraction 
and  repulsion.  Thus  one  object  standing  in  the 
proper  polar  relation  to  another  object  will  receive 
detachments  from  it,  which,  coming  within  the  radius 
of  the  auras,  are  taken  captive  and  held  there,  and 
are  utilized  in  the  economy  of  the  recipient. 

In    illustration    and    demonstration    of    which    we 

—57— 


have  the  phenomena  manifest  from  radium,  which  is 
recognized  by  all  scientists.  Thus  radium  is  per- 
petually throwing  off  minute  particles  of  matter, 
which,  coming  within  the  auras  of  other  bodies,  cause 
them  to  become  also  radio-active.  These  detach- 
ments play  a  most  important  part  in  producing  the 
phenomena  of  psychometry;  hence,  are  here  brought 
to  the  notice  of  the  inquiring  student. 

Everything  within  the  manifest  universe  is  in  a 
measure  radio-active;  that  is,  they  are  throwing  off 
detachments;  the  stars  of  the  heavens  thus  commu- 
nicate with  each  other,  and  are  slowly  but  surely 
transmitting  their  properties  to  one  another;  and  if 
the  law  continues,  they  will  eventually  cause  a  com- 
plete equalization  of  forces,  and  every  particle  of 
physical  matter  will  become  alike;  thus  we  see  the 
process  of  equality  at  work  everywhere  throughout 
the  entire  universe.  Thus  it  is  that  the  astrologer 
is  able  to  calculate  the  influence  of  the  stars  upon 
human  destiny,  for  naturally  man  would  receive  de- 
tachments as  messengers  from  the  starry  hosts. 

Influence  of  Detachments.  When  a  detachment  is 
given  off  from  a  body,  and  it  becomes  located  in  the 
region  of  a  focal  point,  the  focal  point  itself  is  ex- 
cited to  action  by  its  inception,  and  arouses  all  as- 
sociated focal  points  by  the  action  of  the  lines  of 
force  connecting  them  together,  and  a  single  union 
of  perception  is  aroused. 

With  the  detachments  comes  also  the  lines  of  force 
emanating  therefrom,  for  be  it  remembered  a  detach- 
ment is  but  a  minute  particle  of  matter  of  the  tenua- 
tion  of  the  plane  on  which  it  exists,  and  the  lines  of 
force  of  the  detachment  are  so  related,  that  they 
carry  with  them  the  whole  history  of  the  parent  ob- 
ject and  the  nature  thereof;  when  the  detachment  is 
fixed  in  the  region  of  a  focal  point,  its  lines  of  force 
become  lost  within  the  focal  point;  the  focal  point, 
becoming  its  host,  assumes  momentarily  the  form 
of  the  guest,  and  a  flash  of  waves  traverse  the  lines 
of  force  within  the  microcosm,  in  the  same  direction 
as  they  traversed  the  lines  of  force  in  the  guest. 

Focal  Points.  Focal  points  are  centers  of  focalized 
points  of  attraction,  which  stand  either  in  a  positive 
or  a  negative  relation  to  the  detachments  that  are 

—58— 


given  off  from  other  bodies;  and  any  detachments 
having  an  affinity  for  any  given  focal  point,  will  be 
drawn  to  it  after  entering  the  auric  rings  of  the 
microcosm. 

These  detachments  remain  indefinitely  within  the 
attracting  region  of  the  focal  point;  thus  the  souls 
and  mind,  so  called,  grow  by  virtue  of  the  attracting 
power  of  the  focal  points  for  specific  particles  of  mat- 
ter of  high  tenuation,  which  are  detached  and  thrown 
off  from  material  objects. 

These  play  an  important  part  in  psychometry,  for 
every  detachment  carries  a  complete  history  of  itself 
and  parent  to  the  recipient.  Thus  all  foci,  having 
relation  by  correspondence  to  the  nature  or  the  his- 
tory of  the  guest,  are  aroused;  and  this  excitement 
will  for  a  moment  so  disturb  the  perceptive  aura  of 
the  operator  that  this  history  of  the  guest  will  flash 
before  his  mind,  and  perception  is  completed. 

The  accuracy  of  the  reading  depends  upon  the 
sensitiveness  of  the  operator,  and  it  is  not  to  be  sup- 
posed that  a  perfect  operator  is  to  be  found.  Be- 
cause of  the  imperfection  of  the  operator,  the  truth- 
ful history  of  the  body  being  examined  cannot  be 
wholly  determined.  Interia  of  physical  matter  must 
be  completely  overcome  before  a  perfect  perception 
can  take  place.  However,  although  the  instrument 
may  be  imperfect,  the  nature  and  the  history  of  the 
body  under  examination  may  be  unraveled  to  a  mar- 
velous degree;  and  what  cannot  be  determined  by 
this  flash  of  vision  or  illumination  of  mind,  can  be 
obtained  by  the  use  of  the  reasoning  faculties. 

Auric  Currents.  Auric  currents  are  the  natural 
paths  or  routes  around  the  body,  and  within  the  auric 
rings  of  the  various  forces  which  compose  the  auras 
and  the  super-physical  man;  these,  by  comparison, 
are  analogous  to  the  trade  winds  of  the  earth's  at- 
mosphere, and  the  currents  of  the  ocean,  which  are 
caused  (in  the  case  of  the  trade  winds)  by  the  rota- 
tion of  the  earth  on  its  axis.  This  movement  natur- 
ally causes  a  breeze  or  wind  at  the  equatorial  belt 
to  follow  the  direction  of  the  rotation,  and  the  heated 
atmosphere,  owing  to  its  relative  lightness,  rises  from 
the  earth  to  the  higher  regions  producing  a  vacuum, 

—59— 


causing  the  natural  wind  to  flow  from  the  north  and 
south  poles  along  the  earth's  surface  towards  the 
equator,  where  it  becomes  heated  and  rises  to  the 
higher  altitudes,  returning  to  the  polar  regions; 
thus  is  established  the  trade  winds.  So,  also,  in,  a 
similar  way,  the  currents  of  forces  are  established 
around  the  human  body. 

And  as  the  mountain  tops  offer  obstruction  to  the 
natural  winds,  and  set  it  to  moving  in  various  direc- 
tion, so  also  in, the  microcosm  there  are  influences 
that  interfere  with  the  currents  and  cause  them  to 
move  in  a  multitude  of  directions. 

Again,  the  salt  in  the  ocean  is  liberated  from  the 
water  at  the  equatorial  regions  by  the  evaporation 
of  the  water  from  the  heat  of  the  sun;  and  the  free 
salt,  being  of  greater  specific  gravity  than  the  water, 
sinks  to  the  bottom,  causing  an  influx  of  the  waters 
from  the  tropical  and  polar  regions  towards  the  equa- 
tor; the  obstructions  met  by  the  incoming  waters, 
such  as  submarine  mountains,  etc.,  break  up  the 
natural  currents  and  establish  the  trade  currents  in 
various  directions. 

So  in  the  microcosm  the  heat  radiated  from  the 
body  will  rise  from  feet  to  head,  when  in  the  erect 
position;  but  when  lying  down,  the  heat  changes  its 
direction  and  rises  from  the  lower  to  the  upper  side. 
These  currents  can  be  interfered  with  by  various 
causes,  and  thus  false  currents  are  established  in 
the  auras. 

Again,  detachments  that  enter  the  auras,  if  they 
are  in  affinity  with  the  electric  aura,  will  be  impelled 
through  the  aura  from  one  focal  point  to  another, 
standing  in  opposite  polar  relations,  until  it  finds  its 
true  affinity;  thus  establishing  currents  in  the  elec- 
tric aura;  and  in  a  similar  manner  currents  are 
established  in  all  of  the  auras.  The  auras  and  cur- 
rents are  ever  being  acted  upon,  and  are  undergo- 
ing incessant  changes;  and  these  currents  play  a 
very  important  part  in  practical  psychometry. 

Not  only  do  the  earth  and  man  have  auric  currents, 
but  every  particle  of  matter  has  its  own  specific  cur- 
rents and  polar  arrangements,  and  these  it  trans- 
fers  by   induction   to  the   detachments  that  are   lib- 

— 60 — 


erated  therefrom.  Again,  when  these  detachments 
enter  the  auras  of  the  operator,  when  sensitized  for 
psychometrical  work,  they  induce  in  him  similar  cur- 
rents, also  similar  polar  arrangements  to  that  of  the 
parent  body  of  the  detachment;  thus  the  detachment, 
becoming  the  guest  of  the  operator,  induces  in  the 
host  an  idea  of  the  parent;  therefore,  the  psychome- 
trist  is  able  to  read  by  psychometrical  perception 
the  nature  of  the  parent  of  the  detachment. 

Influence  of  Currents.  The  detachments  thus  given 
off  from  an  object  under  examination  enter  the  auric 
rings  of  the  operator,  and,  isochronously  by  induction, 
the  polar  arrangement  is  changed  in  the  body  of  the 
operator.  This  change  causes  the  currents  to  assume 
the  same  direction  in  the  auric  rings  of  the  operator, 
as  in  the  auric  rings  of  the  body  being  examined. 

These  currents  carry  the  detachments  around  and 
through  the  body  until  they  arrive  at  a  focal  point 
having  affinity  for  them,  when  the  focus  takes  them 
captive  as  a  guest. 

If  the  psychometrical  condition  be  weak,  the  de- 
tachments may  not  arrive  at  the  foci  at  all;  but  if 
sufficiently  powerful,  a  condition  is  assumed,  and  the 
detachments,  while  yet  in  the  auric  currents,  will  in 
the  course  of  their  wanderings  pass  the  perceptive 
aura  of  the  operator,  and  an  idea  of  the  nature  of  the 
body  will  be  conceived;  whereas,  if  the  detachments 
enter  the  foci,  they  will  act  more  powerfully  and  in- 
duce a  flash  of  illumination  in  which  will  be  seen 
as  a  vision,  the  nature  and  the  history  of  the  object 
being  examined. 

Thus,  psychometrical  illumination  is  produced  by 
the  direction  of  the  flow  of  currents  in  the  auric 
rings  of  the  operator.  The  auric  currents  of  the  mi- 
crocosm assume  the  same  direction  as  the  currents 
in  the  auric  rings  of  the  body.

CHAPTER  XIII 

PRACTICE 

In  psychometry  the  essential  thing  to  do  is  to 
learn  to  suspend  thought,  for  it  is  the  action  of  the 
intellectual  or  reasoning  function  that  prevents  the 
superphysical  senses  from  receiving  impressions 
from  the  visible  or  invisible  universe. 

In  a  normal  state  of  mind,  or  when  the  reasoning 
brain  cells  are  at  work,  impressions  cannot  enter 
the  mind  except  the  few  that  come  in  through  the 
avenues  of  the  five  senses,  or  are  aroused  within  the 
brain  itself  through  the  action  of  associated  fibers 
connecting  the  brain  cells.  Such  an  impression  would 
not  in  fact  be  a  new  one;  it  would  be  only  an  old 
impression  stored  up  in  the  subjective  mind,  and 
awakened  by  the  co-ordinative  powers  of  the  brain, 
by  reason  of  an  intricate  arrangement  of  these  as- 
sociative fibers. 

To  check  brain  action  and  suspend  thought,  the 
student  must  bring  his  will  power  to  bear  to  over- 
come inertia  of  brain  matter.  This  is  not  done  by 
the  concentration  of  the  mind  on  some  one  thing,  as 
is  generally  supposed,  for,  in  fact,  such  concentration 
will  have  the  opposite  effect.  Neither  should  the  mind 
become  dissipated, .  nor  the  thoughts  scattered,  for 
a  wandering  mind  can  do  no  great  thing. 

The  thing  to  be  remembered  is,  that  all  thinking 
must  be  quieted,  and  the  mind  emptied  absolutely  of 
all  thought.  Look  into  the  region  of  the  heart  with 
the  mind's  eye,  and  passively  wait  for  incoming  im- 
pressions. Having  mastered  this  difficult  thing,  the 
student  will  be  ready  for  work  of  a  practical  nature. 

The  student  will  now  take  some  object  in  his  hand; 
let  it  be  a  lock  of  hair  recently  from  the  head  of  some 
person  with  whom  he  is  not  acquainted.  Suspend 
all  thought  for  a  moment  and  look  with  the  inner 
vision  into  the  region  of  the  heart,  and  in  that  mo- 
ment an  impression  will  come  in  some  form;  it  may 
be  merely  an  impression  as  to  the  character  of  the 
person;  or  it  may  be  a  vision  of  the  person,  or  a  flash 
before  the  mind  of  the  entire  life  of  the  person,  or 
his  present  physical  or  mental  conditions;  at  all 
events  the  impression  will  be  correct  in  so  far  as  the 
student  has  been  successful  in  suspending  his 
thoughts. 

—62— 


The  experiments  are  not  limited  to  the  examina- 
tions of  persons  through  a  lock  of  hair,  but  the  whole 
universe  lies  open  for  investigation;  and  anything 
whatsoever  that  may  be  touched,  while  in  the  condi- 
tion, will  impart  some  knowledge  of  its  history. 

.With  this  faculty  acquired  one  may  turn  back  the 
dial  of  time  and  wander  down  the  line  of  past  ages, 
andi  roam  through  the  green  fields  of  a  thousand  or 
of  ten  thousand  years  ago. 

Causes  of  Failure.  In  practice  one  will  meet  with 
many  difficulties,  which  may  tend  to  cause  error  or 
discouragement;  but  by  being  acquainted  with  the 
underlying  principles  of  the  science,  one  will  gener- 
ally know  when  oppositions  are  being  encountered, 
and  make  allowances  accordingly. 

First,  the  student  may  not  have  his  thoughts  suf- 
ficiently under  control;   suspension  may  not  be  com- 
I  plete,  in  which  case  subjective  ideas  will  be  mixed 
I  with  the  impressions  being  received  through  the  su- 
perphysical    senses,    and   the   judgment   will    be    im- 
perfectly rendered. 

Second,  the  thought  forces  may  be  well  under  con- 
|  trol,    but   not   sufficiently   protected   from    influences 
i  coming  from   the   minds   of   others,   near  by   or   far 
away.     These   intruding  thoughts   may   appear   as  a 
part  of  the  vision,  and  constitute  an  error  in  judg- 
ment. 

Third,  astral  influences  may  slip  in  during  thought 
suspension,  and  become  mixed  with  the  psychomet- 
rical  impressions,  thereby  causing  an  error  in  judg- 
ment. 

There  is  no  way  that  such  errors  can  be  prevented 
except  in  the  study  of  the  principles  underlying  the 
science,  until,  from  a  superior  knowledge  of  the  re- 
quirements, one  will  be  able,  at  least  in  a  measure,  to 
distinguish  the  true  from  the  false. 

Dangers  to  be  Avoided.  In  this  art,  as  in  all  other 
occult  arts,  the  danger,  cpfia^s-  frojtn  losmg  *C6ntrol  of

powered  by  reason  of  inertia  of  brain  matter,  until 
finally,  the  will,  having  completely  checked  the  action 
of  the  brain  and  having  exhausted  its  power,  will, 
from  lack  of  power,  be  unable  to  again  overcome  the 
inertia  of  the  brain  and  start  it  into  activity.  The 
result  will  be  dementia,  the  mind  becomes  a  blank, 
and  the  operator  will  be  worthless  to  himself  and  to 
society  at  large. 

Again,  the  foci  may  receive  such  powerful  impetus 
from  invading  detachments,  that  the  brain  cells  will 
be  stimulated  beyond  the  limit  of  tolerance.  In  this 
case,  if  the  will  be  weak,  the  action  of  the  brain 
cannot  again  be  brought  under  control,  the  mind 
remains  disquieted,  sleep  is  prevented,  and  insanity 
results. 

To  avoid  these  dangers  the  student  must  not  be 
anxious  to  develop  too  rapidly,  take  plenty  of  time; 
and  after  each  and  every  operation,  re-establish  the 
normal  condition  within  the  self  before  going  into 
the  condition  again. 

This  practice  and  mode  of  development,  will  drill 
nerve  tracts  or,  so  to  speak,  wear  paths  through  the 
brain,  by  impulses  darting  over  the  associative  fibers 
time  after  time  in  the  same  direction,  until  eventually 
the  power  becomes  developed,  and  the  brain  has  ac- 
quired the  habit  of  coming  out  of  the  condition  prop- 
erly; then  all  danger  will  be  avoided,  and  evil  con- 
sequences averted. 

Whereas,  if  the  student  neglects  this  warning,  and 
stays  too  long  in  the  thought-suspended  condition  and 
makes  no  effort  to  again  think  normally  for  himself 
with  his  own  brain,  the  law  of  habit  will  fix  upon 
him  the  evils  named. 

If  one  is  conceited  enough  to  imagine  that  he  has 
will  power  and  sufficient  intelligence  to  do  as  he 
pleases,  and  disobey  these  warnings,  he  will  surely 
and  soon  end  in  an  asylum. 

So,  first  of  all,  in  any  occult  development,  one 
must  coraplqtely  overcome,  conceit,  and  cultivate 
judgment  and  a  high' mcraL  status;  occult  powers 
will  not  .change  the. character,  but  will  bring  out  .only 
those  lament  or  Jikld^ij.  qualities  of  soul,  which  are 
waiting"  within  one  for  'expression.
